ok, it’s suddenly 10 a.m. and i’m still sitting on brendan and jerri’s couch upstairs in their fabulous loft, overlooking the staples center and today it’s grey and rainy. we’re headed off to the peterson car museum in a while, but it has been challenging to get moving.
i have many photos today, but only time to post some from saturday, when we went to the huntington library and gardens. the huntington is a mansion and a big library with stuff in it like some of shakespeare’s original plays and a guttenberg bible and really old stuff like that. the museum has things like the blue boy by gainsborough and a bunch of art, and it’s all good stuff, but i love the gardens more and especially the cactus garden. in addition to that one, there’s a huge rose garden and a tropical garden and a japanese garden and the place is really cool. so here are a bunch of photos we took of the cactus garden.
whew. we took millions of photos that day. afterwards we went to the Norton Simon Museum, a small museum in Pasadena that has lots of great art, like a bunch of Degas paintings and sculpture, plus some van goghs and all kinds of big names in the art world.
afterwards we went to Trader Joe’s which is a FANTASTIC grocery store and there’s one in st. louis and we need one desperately in spfld. maybe someday? we made dinner here at b&j’s cool pad. a good time was had by all.
ok then,
tuesday grace.
