Rosemary and I went off to a lunch at the Botanic Garden. After a half hour drive to Glencoe we parked in one of the outer lots. With the weather so beautiful the Garden was pretty well attended.
Merrill Lynch hosted the affair. Lunch was at the Regenstein Center. A simple but tasty lunch was served. Two other couples dined with us. Afterward everyone boarded a tram for a tour around the Garden. Our docent was extremely knowledgeable and kept us amused for the hour long tour.
The grounds are immaculate. We viewed the Japanese gardens, Evening Island with the Carillon Tower. We learned how the Gardens developed into the sprawling acreage of today.
The Garden is open year round with something always happening. What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon – pleasant surroundings, a delightful meal, good conversation, and my loving wife, Rosemary, by my side.
Ah, such sweet candy!
Ciao
