GOING TO THE HOME AND GARDEN SHOW

Josue' decided it was o.k. if I tagged along to the Home and Garden Show with him this past weekend. Michael was with his Youth Group. So, Josue' and I left for dreamland of warm gardens and blooming plants! What excitement the warm weather will bring to our garden this Spring and Summer. The plants were beautiful and it always amazes us how these people can set up these beautiful gardens inside these very large buildings for up to one week and everything still looks beautiful on the last day! That is when we went. On the last day.

We had a lot of fun. Josue' is a camera hog and loves to pose as you can see. We, I tried to see all of the gardens although Josue' was thinking of his stomach most of the day!

Josue' doesn't like mimes. He was scared of them when he first met one at a party at the age of three and has never gotten over it. Hey, I don't care for clowns!
So when the POT HEADS came along they became a challenge for Josue'. He finally conquered his fear long enough to touch one of their hands, even if it was for just a second!!

The Greek garden had a lot of statues...we didn't know about that one.

The USA garden had Lady Liberty. Josue' wants to go to New York City to see the real one. We had the chance to accompany Daddy on a business trip in February, but it was so cold here in Ohio that we didn't want to leave our birds alone in the house. Besides, the winds were howling in Manhattan between the buildings like in a great canyon! Maybe in the Spring.

The Caribbean garden took the cake, Josue' liked that one the best...he could play in it all day, he said..IT had PIRATES and a ship!

Ah! the Mexican or south of the boarder garden..That had a beautiful outdoor room that we all could relate to and have fun in. It was more of a southwest theme. I'm not too sure why they painted the "forno" to resemble red brick when leaving it in the adobe mud color would have looked better. But the colors in the garden were bright and beautiful! I could see papito, mami, Chucho, Esther, Chemi,Chabe and the gang hanging out in this patio!

And now for lunch on our way back home! Ah yes good ol' McD's.

The art of eating a ten piece chicken McNuggets meal in less than 5 min. including a drink! Makes you go crossed eyes and it is finger licking good!!! A good day on all accounts. Thank you son!
