Angie: Yeah, I think that I will have worn them almost two months by then. I guess it will be time.
Tina: Okay, we are going to visit the gardens this afternoon. Since we are going to get a new home, I want to get an idea of some of the plants we all want at our new home so, if you see something you particularly like, take a picture of it and please get the name of the plants. Oh, and let’s not take pictures of every plant. Let’s limit ourselves to about ten each.
Bette: Wow, this sounds like fun. Okay ladies, do we want dessert or maybe later this afternoon before we leave?
Angie: I think I’d like to wait and have it as a snack say about 2:30 or 3:00?
Bette: Well then let’s dispose of these dishes and go look at the gardens.
The facility had several acres of gardens. They had many flowering plants, ornamental shrubs and what Tina referred to as bushes. There were areas of various tall grasses. Everything was well manicured, mulched and presented. Tina loved gardens like this. As she could see groups of the same plants together to see variety along with the various colors of the blooms and foliage. Bette loved the colors and just walking and looking and being in the sunshine. Angie had never been to gardens like this and was absolutely enthralled with the vast array of plants and color. Tina noticed that she was taking a lot of pictures. They made their way to the orchid house which had many varieties of orchids. Bette made a couple of pictures of orchids. Tina looked at the ones she took and agreed that they were beautiful.
After they had toured the orchid house, they went back to the café for an afternoon break. Bette and Tina got some coffee and some peanut butter cookies. Angie got a bottle of water and a large brownie. They then talked about what they had seen. Angie seemed to have a wonderful time seeing all the lovely artwork and the historical exhibits and the gardens were relaxing and beautiful. They then when and visited the gift shop. Angie picked out a couple of mementos and paid for them. Then went to the car and headed home. They had had a very nice low-key day filled with beauty; both of nature and man-made.

It’s so important to be aware of the history and how people fought for rights that nobody should take for granted. I have read about gay people who can be fired just because they love the same sex, it’s truly awful that there is still not equality for all the people, it shouldn’t matter who you love or that your white or black or mixed or whatever.
I always wanted to go to the USA but i don’t think I’ll feel comfortable, i follow the news and I’m really scared that when Trump wins, the USA will change dramatically and not for the best.
Bibi,
If you ever get the opportunity to visit America, you should. Generally, visitors are welcomed and treated well regardless of their lifestyle, heritage or beliefs. As to discrimination, I am afraid that it exists everywhere in the world. Some places more so than others. The one thing about being gay is that people do not have any particular identifying mark or characteristic which indicates that they are gay or straight or whatever. Discrimination is usually subtle and not obvious. The US has made progress toward equality through laws and the justice system at least until the most conservatives gain control of the government. The conservatives seem to want to protect the majority rather than minorities. The election here is polling close as to who may win. It is my hopes that Harris wins as another term with Trump would be disastrous for our country. But that is a personal opinion.
I think it is important for people to know history of their country and of the world. There have always been good people with good intentions and bad people with bad intentions. There have been those who wanted to control more of the world than they deserve. There are countries who give their people a greater voice in their government and those which do not. It is my hope that the world would learn to peacefully co-exist, and deal with each other honestly and fairly. But there are those who want to fair better in any deal than those they are dealing with. There are those who believe that there are those they are superior to others because of their beliefs, lifestyle, or heritage. There always has been and there always will be as far as I can tell.
My thanks for your comment.
I love how thirsty Angie is about finding out about things, always asking questions and wanting to know about history. Bette and Tina are also very knowledgeable and explain things to her beautifully but knowing Angie she will follow up on investigating on her own.
Another day spen5 together just being a family, talking together and eating together!!
Family Life at its best .
Janice24,
Angie has always been a curious child. She has been exposed to a lot of different things and much of it is not in the classroom – Arts, history and science. Like her moms, she sees the beauty and the awesomeness of the world. I think that she is one of those people who will attract and keep a lot of friends around her.
Thanks for reading and commenting. You are closing in on the end of the story.
