A Walk Down Memory Lane

We wanted to walk in Holmdel Park one more time before we move - yes, the project in progress is a move away from New Jersey where we have lived for the past 50 years.  So we are revisiting favorite places.  We had a nice walk, then went to Bell Works, the amazing space which used to be Bell Laboratories, where we both worked, and which has since been repurposed into a home for many companies and retail stores.  But it still looks the same.

Longwood Gardens

It has been nearly two months since I posted anything here.  We have been very, very busy on a project that I hope to reveal soon.  But in the meantime, here is a Holiday greeting from a trip to the Longwood Gardens Christmas show.  Unfortunately it was raining, so we didn't explore the outdoor lighting.  And parts of the conservatory are still under construction, so it is not as extensive as it has been and will be again in a couple more years.  But what we saw was impressive.







































Not all the galleries were fully decorated.  Here are some wonderful cacti.













Then there was the organ!! OMG!  I'm sure we never saw this before.  It has over 10,000 pipes and you can walk around behind the room containing the console to see the rooms and rooms of them.  Here are just a few.  We think those small white objects are Simplisafe sensors, probably monitoring temperature.
