This is just a portion of the magnificent glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly
I was fortunate to recently visit the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. for a consultation. The visit was excellent. The doctors advised me not to have a surgery, which was recommended by another doctor.
A real highlight of the trip was going on the art tour at the clinic. Music and art are part of the philosophy at Mayo Clinic. One of the largest Dale Chihuly glass installations in the country was one of the highlights of the tour. The work changes throughout the day as the light changes.
Piano concerts fill the atrium every day. While we saw a lot of sick people traveling through the halls, it is a place of inspiration and hope.
I pray that many others will have such a positive outcome as I did on my visit.
Round Mountain are two talented brothers, Robby and Char Rothschild, from Santa Fe, New Mexico. These two are incredibly talented entertainers.

For the past three years, I’ve been singing with the Merry Melody Makers. We dress like clowns and sing classic old songs that residents at the nursing homes might know. This past Monday we sang at Santa Fe Cares. Most of the clowns are also members of the Santa Fe Symphony Chorus. The group was founded and inspired by Bettina Milliken, who has been clowning in the nursing homes for more than 17 years.
These flowers are making me sneeze this fall.
I love the look of the beautiful yellow daisies that cover the landscape in Santa Fe, New Mexico. But I’m one of the many who is allergic to these pollinating flowers. But I do love the fall here. What I do love about the fall in the Southwest? I love the following:
