Summer Round Up, Part 2

Here are some more photos from the summer!

This seems to be the Animal post.

Menorah park brought a petting zoo to the campus as part of their County Fair week.











When times are tough, I guess you do what you gotta do.

Here we are at the Natural History Museum.

They had their owls out that day.


Lucy, I'm home!



Now here's an old fossil. And he's standing next to a....ah, never mind. It was too easy.

Uncle Murray? 

They have a terrific outdoor nature trail with live animal habitats.
Fortunately, the weather was perfect.

(Insert Thanksgiving joke here)



Their outdoor otter habitat is really great!



This guy was in my garbage last night.


A little hard to see, but this is a Bald Eagle. 
And remember: bald is beautiful.

Summer Roundup, Part 1

I have so many pictures from the summer that need to get posted. We do so much, and are so busy, that I've barely had time to post about it. So, here, all at once, are as many pictures as I can fit into one post (which is probably a lot.)


This is Barle Soup and Sandwich (pronounced like the grain Barley). It's a new restaurant in Cleveland Heights. They specialize in...well, you can probably figure it out. Everything is fresh, mostly organic, and as local as they can get it. They also make homemade soups every day.

That's my mother. She lives right next door, so she came and met us for lunch.


It was an especially hot summer, but when the weather allowed, we invited residents to eat outside in the Rose Garden when we had our BBQ lunches and dinners.






Campfire time! No lighter fluid - just tinder, kindling, and fuel (large split logs).



This was our August campfire, We had several visitors. The two young people on the right are the grandchildren of one of our residents. The others are some of Sarah's grandchildren.






Our garden grew lush and bountiful.





We even have an apple tree out back by the garden.




A tour on Lolly the Trolley.

At the Rockefeller Greenhouse, Stone Gardens resident and artist, Sidney Rackoff and his wife stand in front of one of his sculptures.
