Last Saturday afternoon when I got home, Dad said he was taking me on a date. We were going to the sculpture walk in Sioux Falls and then to Minerva's for dinner. (Minervas is quite a fancy place in Sioux Falls and not one that we would normally go to, BUT we had a gift card.)
Because my knee has been giving me all kinds of problems, Dad put me in Grandma's wheelchair and wheeled me all up and down to see the sculptures.
Every year a number of sculptors "show" their pieces around downtown Sioux Falls and they change every year. I have wanted to take the sculptor walk for several years and we just never got around to it. Aunt Jen had saved me the article from the paper that has a description of each sculpture and the price of each. I read the article for each and Dad pushed me.
Our first favorite: "When Wealth was Pelts" - $18,500 (artist from Colville, WA)
All time favorite: "Day at the Park" $24,000
Whimsical - "9 Lives" - $12,000
Took a little detour to the river. Saw two mommas with 15 babies. They would stretch out into a long line and then they would all gather up close to momma again. They were so fun to watch.
We found this tobacco store that Dad used to buy pipe tobacco from when he was much younger. What a trip down memory lane!!!
Then off to Minerva's for dinner - I had salmon which was wonderful and Dad had chicken linguine which he said was great. Went for a drive after dinner and ended up at McDonald's for ice cream.
What a wonderful evening!!!!
Have a great weekend.
Love,
Gramma and MOM
