Ty's B-day and Our Anniversary

Finishing our vacation is hard work and I'm not getting to it. So here is what we did Labor Day Weekend. First we took Ty out for his birthday dinner at the Blue Iguana Mexican Restaurant. Great food and fun to be with Ty. Then we all went to Gilgal Gardens. A strange place. This mason in SLC decided to create a strange garden. Here is Ty as we enter the garden.

Yes, that is a mix of Joseph Smith and ancient Egypt. It gets stranger.

Here is the mason/sculpture himself. Brick pants, which the guidebook says were very difficult to make.
Ty had to get to work, so Linda and I decided to go to Red Butte Gardens at the U of U. They are beautiful and we think our grandkids might enjoy parts of it--the Children's Garden.


Then we finished off with a baseball game with the Salt Lake Bees. A very good game. A fun day.

Do you know what that Joseph Smith/Sphinx thing reminds me of? The Prophet Concentration cards I stole from Linda a long time ago. Some lady she knew made them with her own hand-drawn portraits of the prophets. Some are good; some look like their faces were sat on. These cards are so awesome they are actually with my games here in Memphis. They're that good.
