Send in the Clowns



Halloween - Week II
Same drill as last week and we are stationed by the dumpsters again. They smell worse this week.

The weather continues to be great. We slept late today and I decided to go to a museum in Glens Falls this afternoon. The Hyde Collection has an exhibit called Degas and Music that they've been hyping all summer. We talked about it last night and I say Carpe Diem! The collection is housed in a small museum connected to the Hyde's home. The Pruyn family were principal's of a large paper company and the father built three homes in a row for his three daughters. The eldest Charlotte Hyde, and her husband Louis, became art collectors and their acquisitions are displayed in their home along with period furnishings.

The small Degas exhibit is in the museum area and featured pieces that deal with music, not ballet. It was all interesting, but not as impressive as last week at The Clark. After I got home we put on our makeup and headed out to scare the guests on the wagon rides. Now we are finished and looking forward to Hawaiian Luau for next week's theme.
