where am i?

okay, so yesterday i decided, 'you know, i've got time. why not go to the grand canyon? what else am i going to do?' so... that's what i did. since i was only there for the day i didn't hike down, but here are a couple of pictures from the south rim:






OKAY! i didn't go to the grand canyon. it's from the cover of a puzzle... that i got for my birthday... from parent set 1 of 3: dad and brenda. thank you for the puzzle and the fun day. here are some real pictures from saturday:

first stop: troy gardens. in the children's garden:

food ready to plant...


mosaics


roots...


corner tiles...

more tiles...



the parents...


flower. if i knew the name, i'd put it here.

green space


thyme. we think.

"cat mint"


wish i knew the name of this beautiful flower... they were all over the place! growing like weeds. ;-)



the prairie. burned this year so it doesn't look so prairie-like.

back home for a quick break.

green wins.



brenda with an oar.

brenda and her catch...

tulips

field of...

enjoying the view...



off to dinner... the rare fourth beer at the table prompts a discussion of alcohol habits in the Quick family. turns out (aside from possibly a few siblings... heehee) they don't really exist. not habits anyway... which you know, seems pretty... strange... we are a weird family i think, to not turn that into a habit. this apparently didn't stop my grandmother... half the blog's namesake... from warning my father not to drink too much because alcoholism runs in the family. of course my dad never figured out who the alcoholic was. probably because that person never existed.

fish and chips

chocolate cake


a cheesy sunset picture to end the post.
