This trip to Montgomery has been an extraordinary experience. The Wynton M. Blount Cultural Park is a true treasure that people of Montgomery, Alabama should be very proud of. Not only does it house the two theaters for live performances but the park itself is acres and acres of lush lawn, ponds, picnic and gathering places, walking/running/biking paths and statuary art work scattered throughout. We've been here since Thursday and everyday the park had lots of people enjoying the beauty.

Certainly I've loved the plays, the park and this beautiful city with its friendly and helpful people but for me the highlight has been the uninterrupted time with my mother. This is the first time in my life that I've had her all to myself and even though Mother's Day should be about the mothers...I think I'm the one who ended up with the most precious of gifts.

 

Just in case you read this Mom, I love you and would not trade these last several days for anything.

Mona, the gift of time really is the most precious one. I didn't realize it until I moved half-way around the world. There is not a day that I don't think of my mom .. to tell her this or show her that, wishing we could sit in the garden and enjoy a peaceful moment together, to ask advice, to give & receive a hug!

I'm very happy for you that you are enjoying the gift of time. Happy Sunday and Happy Mother's Day to mom.

Happy Mothers Day Mona, What great photos and your story with your Mom is special indeed. Sounds like this trip was right for both of you and I'll bet appreciated as well. That 2nd photo is awesome. Is the tree supporting the broze also bronze ? Love it!

Roger, I'll give my Mom (a)nother hug...methinks she doth become annoyed with the multitude of hugs on this journey.

Winston, beautiful subjects make it easy.

Janis, this past week will provide me with very sweet memories.

Sheila, I can't wait to see your photos.  My mom and dad traveled where you are now and really enjoyed the trip.

Leslie, we couldn't have done this without your help.  I only wish I could repay you with a similar opportunity.

Andrea, I can't imagine how frustrating that is for you AND your mom.  I'm sure she is missing the opportunity to see her little granddaughters grow up and this is a very important time for you and your mom.  I'm betting you are making the best of it and it is probably much easier with technology.

Will, we leave today so I'm guessing new tunes are in store for us.

Wow Gary, that had to have been some time ago.  His legacy here lives on, although I understand the family does not contribute to the theater in the same vein of generosity that he and his wife did.

William, the whole sculpture is bronze.  I'll post the photo of the entire thing when I get home.  Thanks.

Emily, you know it did feel good to take a little break.  My mother and I leave this morning to drive to NC.

Jill, thank you.  The adventure continues.

Hi Mona,

I love the bronze sculptures.

We have some here and in Artesia.

I will have to post some shots. Have a very safe trip home to Slyva.

Best, Clint McKie

Clint, thanks.  I'm home safe and sound now.  Yes, you should post your Artesian sculptures.

Mona, what a lovely message to your mum - those sculptures are amazing (love the one with the cat in the tree...a very familiar situation!) Every time I see the gorgeous photos of Alabama and NC, I truly KNOW we have to put these places on our 'to do' list!  Thank you for sharing your travel pics, and i think it makes us all feel a bit closer to our distant family members when we get to hear of our friends and colleagues enjoying time with theirs!

Karen, you do need to visit NC for sure.  Then you can stop in GA and visit Tammy Lankford on your way to AL.  Hope your husband is okay with the itinerary.
