Our oldest Grandchild, Nicole, turned 6 years old recently. (They grow up SO fast) Each time I see her, I can see her maturing a little by little. Nicole is an extremely active child, both physically and mentally, and she's hard to keep up with, but SO much fun.
Nicole is really into Hannah Montana and everything Hannah Montana, so naturally the birthday party was in that theme. After a grilled menu was consumed, the gift paper was ripped off to expose a pile of Hannah theme accessories.
Phoenix has a world renowned Desert Botanical Gardens, which (DAH!) features desert plants. This Spring, the gardens teamed up with the great glass artist, Dale Chihuly, in an exhibit mingling his blown glass pieces with cactus. Now, to you folks not living in the Southwest may not really appreciate the beauty of those thorny plants. But like most plants, the thorns are to protect themselves from creatures, whether it may be two or four legged. The blown glass put a different slant on the general desert appearence and added more color.
Nancy and I are off to Washington D.C. for a week. More when we get back. ;-))))
