Every time I travel back to Minnesota, a visit to the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory in St. Paul is a must. Formerly Como Park Conservatory, it was originally opened in November 1915 and today occupies one full acre under glass, consisting of six indoor gardens and three outdoor gardens with over 50,000 plants covering over 1,684 separate species. Over the years, the conservatory has charmed and entertained millions of people, both young and old!
In the days and weeks to come, it is my intent to post photos and share my many rich and fulfilling Arizona experiences. Hopefully, this blog will engender and create an interest on the part of the reader to know more about the diversity of the "Grand Canyon State" and possibly visit. (November 23rd, 2009)
I was born and raised in the cold country of Minnesota. After spending thirty seven years in education, retirement in Arizona was my answer. Today, my interests and passions include traveling, playing tennis and being with my grandchildren.
