Mini Golf and the Sculpture Garden

Friday night Jason and I made it to the Walker Art Museum for their summer exhibit: Walker Inside Out, Art Goes Outdoors.  They are doing a miniature golf set up.  Each hole was designed by an artist used an environmental theme.  Materials used were either eco-friendly or made a statement about recycling, water conservation etc.  We played fairly decently - no holes in one, but I did win by two strokes.

DSCF0468 Can you find Jason?

 

Following our round of miniature golf we walked over to the sculpture gardens.  After five years of living out here I finally got to see it all.  That means another check on the list of things to enjoy out here.

Yes, that is a giant cherry on a spoon.

I think this swing/sculpture would be really cool in my backyard to be.  What do you think?

 

As a side I'm expanding my list of things I can do.  This week I successfully used a power drill without any mishaps.  (Now all I have to do is learn how to use a much smaller one on teeth.)  Additionally, Jason and I received a painting in a classy but battered frame when we bought our furniture.  On Dianne's suggestion I found some wood putty and using my paints and skills from my art class have made it look like new.

 

School orientation begins in three days - I can't wait!

Hi,
I see that you're a newly accepted dental student. I will be a junior undergrad, and I'm extremely interested in this career. Can I ask you a few questions? Thanks and good luck!
