SAT TO BAREFOOT BEACH AND ART IN THE PARK

We have a busy schedule today fut first let's do yesterday afternoon. We headed for Naples Botanical Garden. http://www.naplesgarden.org/ is the email. It was fun and they have lots of future things planned. It's hard when you compare everything to Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, we have been to one or two hat come close but we are fortunate in Minnesota. So much to see. I hope to be able to go to some state parks in Minnesota this fall.
I know we need to get home but I hate the thought of rain and frozen ground for another month up North.
We walked and walked in the gardens, they had wonderful cement paths and interesting landscaping. If you have been to the Arboretum and most of you have you just can't compare the buildings to anything we have seen. Makes me think we should join the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Jim even mentioned it.
Mac lives so close to French Park. I bet they enjoy walks there a bunch.
We have been walking quite a bit. I hear the Stumpf is working on getting "Buddy" leash trained. It takes a while.
We had a coupon from the paper about a rib place. "O B Cornerstone" was the name but the word Cornerstone was so small in the ad we had a hard time finding the place. We did find it and they had a lovely patio restaurant inside with a fountain, not much of a spray but the sound of splashing water was fun. Good ribs too, we had fun discovering the place and saved $2. Yipee Skipee! Our bill was $37 and we went for $7 ribs. Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
We sure are spending the money driving around. Heck the Ocean is 15 miles away. Jim just said it is only 7 or 8 miles away, it takes us 1/2 an hour.
We left the dogs at home yesterday but walked them around the 2 mile lake walk before we went, wanted to tire them out so they would sleep.
Will have to get up and do likewise today. Can't take them to the beach here.
Today is going to be the warmest day. I need to get the sunscreen out. I never use anything and that is silly. We have it, I will use it.
