May every great new day
Bring you sweet surprises--
A happiness buffet.
And when the new year’s done,
May the next year be even better,
Full of pleasure, joy and fun.
Yesterday my daughter Gwen, her son's fiancee Jonni, baby Aiden and i took in the Christmas tree display at the Frederick meijier Gardens in Grand Rapids. It was a rainy day here and so was a perfect time to do and inside Before viewing the decorated trees we went into the sculpture room. We were not allowed to take pictures and I so wanted to as this one entitled In The Wall called pink Saturday to me. I found this picture when browsing their site and was thrilled..
.
Doesn't it look like a lady with her head looking into the future ? Maybe the new year and wondering what it will bring.
Below are some of the pictures I took on our girl's day out.
This tree represents the Ukraine
The spiderweb is to symbolize an old Ukraine ledgend about a poor family.
This tree represents the Netherlands with it blue Dutch Delftware
This is Korea..I love those little dolls.
These next pictures were taken in the botanical garden rooms.

The best of good wihes to you all for a wonderful, happy, prosperous and healthy New Year.
Wishing everyone a safe end to this year and to the new year coming in.
