TRIP
Yesterday started off with rain, now mind you, I had asked for sunshine to go with us on a trip to Kellye Park and the Japanese Friendship Garden!!! Well, by the time we reached our destination, it had slowed to a shower, then after a few steps inside the garden, nothing but sunshine!! It was a beautiful park with lots of beautiful trees, shrubs, water, and stone statues. A really fun walk and I took lots of really nice pictures. Plan to get them developed and give some to the club, for future guests to look at and want to go next year. At the park next to the friendship park was lots of homes built around the 1850's to early 1900's. We got to go inside a few and really learned a lot about the families, and how they lived. Aren't we lucky, inside toilets, and running water, etc. You don't realize just how much things have improved in that way. I don't know that we are any happier, but like to think so!!! We visited a early dentist office, wow, that really made me appreciate my dentist!!! We brought our lunches and had a nice picnic in the park and had beautiful roses all around. I hope to go back on a weekend, and see all the homes that are only opened on weekends and holidays. We had a very knowledgeable docent also. That always makes the trip more enjoyable too. We arrived back to the senior center, right on time. Till next time~~~~~Antique Rose

Something to think about.
Hi there! I had the hardest time finding a place to comment. I was all confused! Did you see me out in your back yard trying to find my way around? :)
ReplyDeleteYou didn't say if the lovely young ladies were daughters or grand daughters or who they were...
I would probably do well to visit more often and then maybe I would know what was going on!
Keeping up with blogging is sort of getting me down so please forgive my not getting over here. I will try harder.
Oh that little doll down there playing with the pumpkins! I have one about that same age...grandson that is!
Your yard is lovely. I want one just like it! I'm trying but I need more time. I have only been living here for two years and it was totally blank when I arrived...so I have a long way to go! Just lookinng at it made me sigh...it's perfect!!
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteMona,
ReplyDeleteYou just made my day!!! I always look at other blogs, and think that I lack something or mine is not as good as it should be. Just wanted to say thanks!! glad you like my yard. :-) The little guy in the pumpkin patch is my oldest grandson, who will turn 31 in November!! The three young ladies are my granddaughters. My Daughters family. Aren't grand children wonderful!!! I understand about the blogging, sometimes I am not in the mood to write, or don't have time. I really love your blog though, so I will just keep checking. Hugs to you. Fran(Antique Rose)
