lizziebelleI met my friends Cymbri & Rob at Forest Park in Springfield this afternoon, where I took a bunch of pictures of this mausoleum, the statue of the three graces, and a bunch of other scenic spots. Click the link to see lots more!
I am ashamed to admit that this is the first time I've ever been inside the park. I pass it every day on my way to work, and I can even see the statue from the highway. It took Cymbri nudging me to make it there, and what a beautiful place it is! They're already setting up for Bright Nights, which is their Christmas lights display.
After the park, we headed to B&N for the monthly meet & greet, which was small but fun. Nice group of folks. I got a Reiki treatment & shoulder massage from Donna, who noticed that I was a bit tired. That sure charged me up! I got a nice compliment from Padraig & Leah, who had blown up one of my photos and wanted me to sign it. It was a sunset I had taken in the cemetery. Hee!
Since I was halfway there already, I headed up to Trader Joe's for some good grub. My treat this time was dark chocolate-covered pistachios. Yum! They didn't have some of my faves, but they did have the ginger granola I love. They also have unsweetened soy milk, for a lot cheaper than Silk.
'Twas a lovely day, and warm enough to wear a t-shirt. It looks like we're at peak color this weekend, and tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer, so there will probably be more pix. :)
