A Life Changing Event

Music students in the area have the opportunity to attend/participate in a music camp, annually, at the International Peace Gardens. What a beautiful site to study at!

The International Peace gardens is located half in North Dakota and half in Canada. The flowerbeds are massive and could keep Roy Kelley and his camera busy for a full summer. The International Peace Garden also has a tribute area to the 911 assault on our nation, complete with some of the girders from the Twin Towers.

The International Peace Gardens is a very beautiful place to visit. As far as I know you do NOT need a passport to visit either/both sides of the Gardens.

The International Peace Gardens are only 100 miles from Minot ND so stop in and say hi to Timmothy and I.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Good morning Bob. Doubt I'll ever get that fat north but if I do a stop in Minot would be a definite and perhaps we could make the journey to the International Peace Gardens together. Enjoy your day.

That would be wonderful Wayne Martin . While a round trip of 200 miles sounds like a long trip I know it would fly by with our visiting.

I have never been but it sounds wonderful. Maybe someday! As for the passport, I had to look it up and I found "A passport or Nexus card is preferred as it expedites the process, but Border Services for Canada and the United States will accept a Driver’s License and Birth Certificate as well."

Thank you for doing the research I should have done Kat Palmiotti . I hope the occasion comes so we and our spouses can make the trip together.

Good Saturday morning, Bob. Thanks for telling us about this special music camp. Yes, I would enjoy photographing the flowers in the gardens.

Good morning, Bob... while I'm not likely to be travelling that quite far north, this Garden looks amazing and I would love to see it first-hand.

If you came up in June, July, or August you would probably feel very comfortable Nina Hollander, Broker . I'd sure love to show you around North Dakota for about a month.

Hi Bob- what a beautiful place to immerse yourself in music.

I'd love to go Kathy Streib and I am not even a musician. Maybe they have a class study of classic Rock N Roll. 😉

Hello Bob "RealMan" Timm, aptly named ... so incredibly beautiful - and peaceful. If I ever find myself within 100 miles of you, I will make time to meet up with you.

That would be wonderful Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist . I hope it happens.

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

What a stunning place to hold a music camp, Bob "RealMan" Timm, and it's humbling to realize such a beautiful place right on the border serves as both a botanical garden and a deep reminder of the 9/11 tragedy. Seeing those girders from the Twin Towers at the International Peace Garden must truly be a life-changing, powerful moment. Thanks for sharing this truly special place!

It's a great facility Lew Corcoran and seeing those girders has a stronger impact than many expect. I wish everybody would remember what extremism does... especially at this time when people are criticizing Israel after Hezbolla brutally slaughtered so many defenseless people.
