winterthur



took my dad to winterthur last saturday
amazing country estate developed by Henry Francis duPont (1880-1969)
for $20 you can stroll around the grounds, tour the fabulous mansion, and take the tram car thru the spectacular gardens
great place to spend a few hours on a saturday surrounded by
huge poplar trees, salmon peonies, coral azaleas, pink dogwoods, and white snowball viburnums

unrelated info-this week's newsweek mag listed the top 100 schools in USA-PA not in it anywhere? Penncrest was a no-show..imagine that! Florida had a bunch in there-if we ever decide to procreate we'll move there due to the schools...jojo

PENNCREST needs to be a separate blog entry...perhaps a co-blog with tedman

Menthols smokes were v. cool-I smoked in weight room and put out butts under the wrestling mats-bad girl that I was.
Affirmative on condoms this weekend. I also concur on PHS blog-it could have a whole "where are they now" like E true hollywood stories.
