Bartlett Arboretum 100th anniversary

Dale and I went to a dinner and celebration tonight to mark the 100th birthday of the Bartlett Arboretum in Belle Plaine.  Among the friends who we shared the occasion with was Dana Britton. (This photo was taken by Dana's wife, Cathy.)

This is Robin Macy, who owns the arboretum. She's a tiny little thing who has more energy and ideas than almost anyone I know. She's restored the arb's grandeur in the 10 or so years since she bought it. It's a wonderful place to visit.

A very artsy photo of Nancy Blanchett in her vintage sunglasses. (This photo and the one of Jaime and Denise, above, also was taken by Cathy. Thanks for sharing, Cathy!)
