Went for a walk thru a glorious park with some friends for my birthday

Riverside Park is in a neighbouring city and it runs along the river. There are little waterfalls, groomed flower gardens, a flower clock etc. Gorgeous day and walk.
A miniature house from John Galt, build to scale 1 1/2inches per foot. So it was a huge house in the day. And a plot of cacti.

Comments (78)Oh Beth--She has such a sweet face-and I'm sure she is so thankful to have a 'mommy' that will take good care of her-does she like to ride? Alli went everywhere with me- I am glad you have a companion--she will take care of you and be always on your side--and I won't have to think of you being alone!! Remy--I would like some rudbeckia--I manage a 30 year old 96 unit apartment complex that has been ignored for years--so I am planting things everywhere I can to 'perk' it up Carol has sent me some purple iris and Maureen sent dahlias and daylillies--Beth has been sending seeds every month-from a different swap-so it's starting to look up around here!! Let me know what I need to do! Debbya--Toby is such a handsome guy--I am torn between getting another bulldog--or a boston--my house is just too quiet! Better get to work Jeanette...See MoreNEW: All My bloomin friends logo vote
Comments (77)I'm for whatever logo all you ladies decide on. They are all just wonderful so it truly is tough to pick just one that I really like best.I think the lineup of ladies fanny's with the green or red lettering is a really good. It just feels...us...to me, I guess. Although I couldn't say their attire is what I wore last to go to the nursery and buy plants (HA HA HA) but the pic feels fitting to me. The logo, where do we go to link to it(get the url) or is someone emailing it to everyone so we all are aware of the place it's stored at for linking purposes. I think it would be easiest to have it stored at a reputable photo place and then just email the url link to all members so we can place it in our thread start up for each month when we are the hostess. Peace Char...See MoreOT my Dad
Comments (34)Nana, I got on last night with the intention of reading all the posts and commenting....of course when I saw the word "purple", that was the first one I read being me. When I went to comment I just started falling apart and realized I couldn't act 'normal' afterall. I'd finished writing my Dad's obituary and picking a photo for it a few hours earlier, so that's probably why I was a mess. tho I seem to be staying that most of the time. I'm clearing things from Dad's room, except things special to me, because I 'have' to. I need to see that room in a different way as soon oas I can. It hurts too much otherwise. The hospital bed has to go back to the VA, so I hope to find some different furniture for that room in the future. The gigantic old dresser needs to go, but Zorro can keep the easy chair. He claimed that years ago. ;o) Basically I'm just donating Dad's clothes and going thru loads of paperwork. He saved every scrap of paper and trying to sort the necessary from the useless has been a challenge. After Mom died 10 yrs ago, and he moved in with me, he really kept very little. "Stuff" was her thing, not his. He stopped driving when she died too, their car was totaled in the wreck and he didn't want another one. So Dad's belongings are very few, except his clothes and a lot of framed family photos. I'm so glad I don't have a lot to go thru again, like when we lost her. this is the photo I chose for his obituary, its how I'll always remember him with his wonderful smile, ready to tell someone a joke. hugs, Karen...See Moreupdates continued thru March 18th.
Comments (2)These stories are terrific. I'm so enjoying them & am glad you're sending them to the forum, not only to keep us abreast and for our entertainment, but so you've got a record with fresh details of your journey. All the little events that make the ride so special would be lost down the memory hole if you'd tried to recall them after the trip. Life is more colorful in Louisiana, isn't it? People there will interact with total strangers -- it's great. I'm praying for good weather & safety for y'all....See More

Your photos remind me of August in British Columbia, when I would go to Vancouver each summer to escape the cold of San Francisco.
Incidentally, the scale of the house according to the sign is 1-1/2" - 1'-0", not 11.5" per foot, which would be very close to full scale. Instead the scale is 1:8.
