We spent some time on Monday exploring a new park in our town that we hadn't been to before. It has a little bit of everything - a great playground, sculptures, walking trails, and fishing areas.
I've been telling all my friends with grandkids
that they need to bring them here!
The sculptures are fun - much larger than life-size - native animals. Wild turkeys!
And prairie dogs!
That trail you can see back behind there is where we walked.
You can go down to the river there and check out the fishing ponds, too.
It was a beautiful day!
This week's book was a good one - The Keeper of Happy Endings, by Barbara Davis. It's my book club's June book. It is historical fiction, taking place in the 1940s and the 1980s.
LeeAnna's question of the week is about perms. Have we had one and how did it work out? This one made me laugh! I have very curly hair! So curly, in fact, that people have asked me if I had a perm. 😄 When I was a teenager, some product came out that claimed to straighten curly hair, and my mom thought we ought to try it. I think it was done much like a perm - you combed this stuff in, left it for awhile, and then pretended your hair was magically straight (as was the style in the early 70s when I was in high school). I think it lasted at the most for a week or two.
In college, I met Mike, whose hair was also curly back then, and our friends called us the "Brillo Pads!" We even dressed up as brillo pad boxes for a Halloween party way back then. I wish I could find a picture of that, but I'm not sure where it would be.
How's this for a 70s look?!
Have a great Thursday, everyone!
