wandzel muralcle valentine gift


The best things in life don't have a price tag.
The good folks involved with the muralcle just keep giving and giving.
When the Savannah Art Wall on Habersham was being demolished last year, word was sent to its kickstarter backers.
"Want a piece of the wall? Come and get it!"
So I did.
With Matt's help, I located my special brick in the wall.
The one painted by Troy Wandzel on a hot June day in 2012.
I had not remembered the day being videotaped, but it was.
For a last Valentine from SeeSAW, the video link was given to us.
No further exchange of funds, no rushing to buy anything.
Just a true gift from the heart.
(smile)
But that wasn't all.
When I watched the video, there was an extended segment when I was the subject. Starting at video time 0:49, and ending at 0:52, I'm in each frame.
I had forgotten that I was wearing Daddy's shirt.
But I can almost remember the conversations we were having. Especially when he had to mix that neon green for my sunglasses.
What a day of sunshine and good times!
I have watched the video, at least that segment, several times now. I even slowed it down, to step through it. Thanks to the huge monitors on the Macs on campus, I was able to snap a few photos to keep here.
While I am aware that they may not be in actual sequence, I still think they are a good document of the event.
I know I will treasure them... and that day.
Thanks, y'all!
