We did not make it to the glass overhang. I definitely would not go out on it. I have a real fear of heights.

I doublt that Jr would have gone either and no way would he have taken Marissa. I think we all have a fear of heights.

In September the crowds should be a lot smaller. We talked to a ranger; he said from May until the end of August they are really busy and again during the Christmas holidays.

When we were there, the lines for the trolleys were huge. When we were there 25 years ago, there were no lines ... and no trolleys. 25 years ago, we parked close and walked and then moved the car and walked again. They are removing trees for more parking. I thought the economy was bad ..... Jr said ... Look at the nationalities, the economy is bad. There were lots of Orientals and Europeans.

A little background music, please. :)

A few years ago, my Bro (St.Louie1) designed and created the Opening for Amy's Place. This took time and was created with love. Thank you again, Bro, I still love the Opening.



Over a year ago, working together, MamaBear and Billie created our Welcome to our Home Graphic.

In this graphic you will see JKPhoto (PapaBear), an unnamed kitten, me, Bad Penny, Billie Blue, MamaBear and our resident wolf (St.Louie1).
This is a very special graphic not only because it was created with love and the message is perfect but it also depicts what we feel this thread is about.

I read WayzataJOHNN's poem and it is great. Thank you, JOHNN. We now have three Amy's Place poems .... they are, in order of submission, as follows. Each of these poems are wonderful and I thank NnB, Kudsman and JOHNN for writing them.




The Pumpkin Seed

It seems like such a tiny place, how could we all fit in?
Who knows? Let’s all just climb aboard, and take it for a spin.
This isn’t just a cottage. It’s a magic place indeed.
Who would have thought that pumpkin could have been inside a seed?

When you enter Amy’s Place, it’s bigger in than out,
So step inside but don’t forget to give your friends a shout.
The more we have attending here, the bigger it will get,
So just keep right on piling in, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

HOME

I took a jaunt
and viewed some sites.
One previous haunt
some new delights.
Time flew by
most was fun.
Lessons learned
risks run and won.
Now back home
in this comfy place,
I fondly callL
Ms. Amy's place.

Friends in heart with common cause here
poetry and humor, laughter and shared tear
like a family gathered around the fireside
we share what we have, letting pains abide

Warmth and words capturing ideas and dreams
blended in company with us each it seems
Like a red red rose in the snow so white
this place stands out, its freedom does shout

Red on Fridays, or those Caturdays as well
dogs welcome though the cat’s glance is fell
Dust bunny graphics that give smiling delights
words and crafted images combine in fun sights

A family of minds blended in friendship fair
let us preserve it with thoughtful honest care
Here the place where distant friends reach out
and touch in gentle humor, strife we do rout

Recipes shared oh so easy right here
simply expanding my belt line I fear
and those fried treats displayed galore
and Chocolate wonders and ever much more
