Judy, Marilou, Mel and I enjoyed a fun "ladies day out" at Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, MI on Tuesday. It is a beautiful area of outdoor flower gardens and art work plus greenhouses of exotic plants. They have a wonderful children's garden with a tree house and a water exhibit of the Great Lakes where kids can float boats. Samantha and Emily would love it!
The gardens are hosting an exhibit of Dale Chihuly's blown glass sculptures through September and they are amazing. He is well known for organizing teams of exceptionally talented glassblowers that work together to form huge, multipart glass sculptures - often designed for outdoor display. They were interspersed inside and outside in the gardens and ponds and are gorgeous in their design and color. It was worth enduring the 95 degree heat to see them!!!
The heat wave here is dragging everyone down - the humidity makes it much worse than San Antonio! We went for a raft ride and swim on Lake LeAnne with Judy's friends, Winnie and Splinter (her last name is Wood!) last night - the cool water felt heavenly!
Tuesday was a "glad - sad" day for Roger - he sold his airplane. A retired Alaska Airline pilot from Seattle bought it and is excited to have found it. I'm glad it went to a good home! It just didn't fit our current lifestyle and was too costly to keep if he couldn't enjoy flying it. Dave told him to come visit when we are in Seattle and we just might do that!
