Lovely irises along the path.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the twins were very young we would take them to a playground nearby. This stone bridge always fascinated me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can tell this was a perfect day!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A family donated this bronze sculpture in memory of their child.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing a stone bridge like this transports me to<\/strong> medieval Europe.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pass blooming Magnolia Trees as we walk back to our daughter’s home. What a wonderful day!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
