note: as promised my brother john wrote about his (often) weekly date with spouse pam to the Fredrick Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, in grand rapids where we all grew up and where, of the six of us, he still lives.
The muskrats were busy building new underwater homes but I didn't know they live underwater until now. Maybe you can tell me how and where and why they do that. Chihuly glass stuff is still all over the grounds. We got to handle one of the pieces and the glass is heavier than it looks. Which is good because it has to withstand all kinds of weather and hold up under hail or sleet or bad storms.
The Gardens are getting ready for summer musical performances. They put the ugly carp back in the ponds (note from Pam-they are nice goldfish) (note from John- same thing!). Still all looks way overdone but everything will be there til September so we have to get used to it and I'm told in AA that I don't have to like it, only to accept it! Ok that's all. Look forward to seeing you soon and glad that you are feeling better and infection under control. Look forward to the fancy coffee too. Love, John
