Art Museum
Grace likes art. She’s roved her eyes over the paintings by her charging station every day since she was created, and she always finds something she hasn’t seen before. She gets more paintings when she goes out. Diego had purchased he some books about art that showed her different styles so she could pick the one she likes the best.. She particularly enjoys Fauvism. It challenges her programming, but she likes to look at the paintings and wonder what places they depict. She likes the bright colors that she was never able to enjoy when Reginald was alive.
Diego has a day off. Grace is excited for two reasons. She’s always happy to spend time with her children, but Diego said he had a surprise for her. Diego wakes up at 7:26 am and comes down for breakfast. “Good morning, Diego.” Grace greets warmly. Diego smiles, “Hey, mom.” Diego is up earlier than usual today, which means she’ll have to go faster on breakfast. That won’t be much of a problem, though. She knows when Diego gets hungry, but he’s patient. She knows he won’t get upset. “I think you’ll really like what we’re doing today. She smiles and puts breakfast in front of him, “I’m sure I will, darling.”
Diego eats quickly and helps out with the dishes. He’s done that since he was young, Grace never appreciates it any less than the first time he did it. “Thank you, Diego.” He nods in acknowledgement, “I’ll go get dressed, you can get ready, then we’ll head out. She nods and dries her hands. She goes upstairs and gets a sweater and a handbag. She goes downstairs and waits for Diego. He comes downstairs a few minutes later, “Shall we?” She smiles and heads to the car. She gets in the passenger seat. “Where are we going?” She asks. Diego smiles, “I can’t tell you. That would ruin the surprise.” Grace’s mind is racing thinking about where they’re going and what might happen.
Diego stops the car at an art museum. Grace is curious.”Here we are,” he smiles. Grace gets out of the car and smooths out her dress. The pair heads inside. Grace is immediately blown away. She spends a while at every single exhibit. She especially liked the one about the art of old Japan. “Diego?” She asks quietly. He looks over, “Thank you.” Grace smiles. Diego puts his arm around her, “No problem, mom. Are you ready to go?” She nods, taking one last look around the exhibit they were in. This is by far Grace’s favorite place she’s been to so far, although that’s not saying much. It’s not likely it will change though when she goes other places.
