Almost the Holidays

Posted on by ruthoffen

Now early December, and I remembered I started this site.

What a year its, been took me months to recover from my broken ankle. I broke 2 out of the 3 bones in my ankle. I am the proud recipient of 11 screws and a plate. The good news is . In June, I started to dance again. Made me so happy. I’m actually better on my feet than I was. All that PT has made my core stronger. This is better for dancing and for me.

Now, Here we are in mid December. Just prior to the gallery’s annual winter hiatus, I’m looking back.  This year it has been pretty tumultuous. My father, Nathan Offen, a Holocaust survivor died in late September, after his disease AMS, was no longer treatable. He put up a valiant fight, but in the end succumbed to this horrible disease. I miss him. He was 94. just 2

This photo was taken in April at one of those beautiful bird sanctuaries in Delray Beach.

More later.

Created by, Ruth Offen the former founder/director of WaterWorks Gallery, a gallery opened in 1985 to showcase contemporary artists and jewelers that live and work in the Pacific Northwest. The gallery is on an San Juan Island in the Salish Sea.[ North Puget Sound] Pretty amazing place. After 36 years, I have decided to spend more time enjoying life by dancing tango all over the world, traveling, continuing to develop my photography. Over many decades of amassing a personal art collection, now the process of downsizing is becoming a reality. How do we have more with less? Staying true to the motto, unencumbered by our possessions and not burdening our children with our stuff. This next process will take patience and courage. On the road to happiness. Its' the journey that counts!
