June 12 of 12

OK, this weekend was quite busy for your old correspondents. We had a lot of things we had to accomplish around the house, but we also wanted to share some of what we did with all of you. Saturday night we joined some very dear friends and went into the "big city" of Greenwood. The month of June is when Greenwood celebrates the FESTIVAL OF FLOWERS. We enjoyed walking through town and seeing the topiaries. Then we went to dinner at Polo's and from there went to the community theater to see the "Funniest Man In America." If you haven't been exposed to James Gregory, you are missing a great evening of entertainment.




4:45 pm This is "Flora The Flamingo," the 1st of the topiaries. Y'all watch close, I'm going to be running, we have dinner reservations at 5:30 and then James Gregory at 7:00.

4:49 pm...This is "T-Rex, the Dino Dude"......The Topiary was done by a Magnet Middle School in Greenwood. Those kids are talented. 4:51 pm Lakeview Elementary School and Chick-Fil-A are responsible for this one. If you look closely, it does say "Eat more Chicken." 4:53 pm Meet "Gloria the Swan." She was created by the students at Westview Middle School.


4:59 pm This is "Apple Gem, The Horse". "Apple Gem" was created by Festival of The Flowers Volunteers.





5:03 pm Meet "Ari" the Lion created by the students
at Cambridge Academy.
5:05 pm If you are from Carolina, you gotta be a "Gamecock." This is one
huge "Cocky."
5:07 pm This is "Horton" the baby elephant.

5:09 pm This is "Milak" the moma elephant. "Milak" was created by the students of Greenwood High School.
5:11 pm Quality Motors created this Jeep. After the Festival of Flowers, the Jeep will be displayed at their dealership.
5:13 pm Fuji Film of North America is Headquartered in Greenwood. They sponsored this Topiary named "Panda-monium." Look closely, you can see the many panda's.
5:15 pm Racing to get to our reservation of time. Polo's, a really
great place to dine. The rack of lamb was truly wonderful.
6:55 pm Made it to Greenwood Community Theater (GCT) just in time. James Gregory is billed as "The Funniest Man in America." He well may be. I know we sure enjoyed the evening.
Sorry to be so late in getting this posted, but it really was a hectic weekend, and we wanted to share this special evening with you.
