Another long day! Linda decided to stay another day. She wanted to get together with Laurie today but Laurie was tied up all day. I got off work a little early and we decided to try out that mini-golf place nearby. I have never been there but have heard about it and how unique it was. Well, when we got there, we were just amazed and in awe! It is more of an outdoor art gallery that happens to have a miniature golf course interspursed. I will post pics later of it but we spent more time taking photos than actually playing golf! It is located on an old farm. There is really old farm machinery scattered all over, there are goats and a pig, miniature horses, donkeys and horses. Then there are the sculptures! Everywhere! Made of wood, metal, rock, whatever! Just incredible art pieces all around and some are part of the golf course, which was incredibly unique in itself! The course was very challenging (which you will see from the pictures) and almost comical. Never seen anything like it! I can't believe that it is only a few miles away from me and I have never been there until now. We had a blast playing mini-golf and taking pics!
I was suppose to go to my women's golf league meeting tonight but didn't get there until it was over. I guess I didn't miss anything tho. Linda and I stopped to eat and while we were eating she asked what was on the front of my shirt. It was a wood tick! Luckily, it was on my shirt and not on me! Tick season is early this year!
We talked for awhile tonight and said our good-byes since she is leaving in the morning. She is going to take the scenic route along the Mississippi River down to Pike's Peak State Park in Iowa and then, later in the week, head over to Des Moines to get settled in her new campground for the summer. I am going to try to get down there at least once this summer to visit. We are definately going to be keeping in touch often!
I am exhausted tonight so will post the rest of the pics tomorrow...
Barbie, Romeow, and Sophie, missing Lola! (and lots of ferrets running around in my heart!)
