While we were admiring this sculpture of 3 angels in Galveston, the home owner came out. We started talking about how these 3 angels represent her grandchildren. I told her how much I admired how the city responded to the devastation of Hurricane Ike and wished that our city in ND had found something similar after being destroyed by a flood.
She got a funny look on her face and asked, "what city?"
"Oh, you've probably never been there."
"What city?"
"Grand Forks, ND."
"I've been there!"
Can you say that?
It turns out that her "three angels", the inspiration for the sculpture, live in Minot, ND. And a grandma's gotta go where a grandma's gotta go!

What a small world we live in, my sons girlfriend is from Grand Forks. Your plant photos are so sharp which really adds to the prickly cactus!
Oh I love the angels and the owl! Such amazing detail. My DS1 would love the guitar, and my DS2 would love the frog. So we've got those covered ;D I also have a fondness cacti because they are one of the few plants I can keep alive!!!!
Very cool! Sculpture is always fascinating to me. How do you take a big lump of something (wood, stone etc.) and change it into something recognizable?
Wow...that's so cool. I love to watch the chainsaw guys make those.
Those sculptures are really amazing. The owl is really col.
More cool sculptures! Yes!! So much details!
Sadly I cannot say I have been to North Dakota but someday :) Visiting all 50 states is on my bucket list (have been to 43 so far) I do know this Southern girl has no desire to visit in the winter lol
