Knight in Shining Armor

Big Guy and I decided to really celebrate 314 day by roaming around Saint Louis. We have not been living in a cave, but it certainly felt like we lost touch with many of our old haunts during the pandemic.

We decided to head to the Saint Louis Art Museum to renew our membership. It was certainly a homecoming for us since we spent the final weekend before “lockdown,” enjoying brunch at Panorama and the exhibit at the time with a dear friend. It was odd to be there on that final weekend of freedom enjoying beautiful art while wearing our masks and wondering about COVID and how it would affect our lives.

This time around we enjoyed the Age of Armor exhibit and its transformative story. It was fascinating to see the use of armor though the ages ending with armor from the movies of Star Wars and Black Panther. It also gave me an appreciation for those individuals who wore the armor. I do call my Big Guy my knight in shining armor, but he certainly was not going to fit into any of those suits on display!
