We visited the Philadelphia Magic Gardens in Philadelphia. It is a non-profit organization, folk art environment, and gallery space on South Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the largest work created by mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar. The Magic Gardens spans three city lots, and includes indoor galleries and a large outdoor labyrinth. The mosaics are made up of everything from kitchen tiles to bike wheels, Latin-American art to china plates. It is well-worth a visit!
We stay with dear friends in their gracious home when visiting New Jersey. This gate leads into their charming garden. As you would expect, the garden does not disappoint.
Here, Mother enjoys time in the sun. As I have mentioned before, Mother is extremely frugal. I had a new experience on the way home. Just so you know, it is possible to stow eight fresh eggs, three-quarters loaf of bread and eight nectarines in a carry on without crushing them, even if that carry on has two pairs of jeans, two shirts, underwear, a nightgown, and toiletries as well as a heavy-weight three-quarter winter down jacket Mother talked my daughter out of while we were in New Jersey. All items got home in perfect condition due to skillful packing and astute delegation. I know you won’t have any trouble guessing who got bags through airport without egg casualties!
Mother is open if anyone is looking for a travel companion.

So much food items stashed in her carry on and nothing broken or damaged damn that takes some skill, that first photo had me shaking my head and thinking what the hell is that mess, which I guess shows what I think about such art

It wasoverwhelming but inttersting. Mother is a tightwad. There’s no way she would leave food at a BNB, no matter how much trouble it cost her or her travel partner.
