Grounds for Sculpture
My friend Sandy and I went to " Grounds for Sculpture " in Hamilton, NJ last Wed. Its really an amazing place and great for all ages. I've been when the trees are full and flowers everywhere, but winter is very cool too as its stark and the various pieces stand out. There are two large buildings where the exhibitions change, and then there are paths and gardens throughout the grounds integrating with the artwork outside. If you get a chance, go! Oh yes, theres a great restaurant on the property called RATS. The waiter viewed us with a semi-jaundiced eye as he said "you can't fit that all on the table at once". So we made two courses, the first was a beautiful smoked salmon with capers and a salad of frisee ( or "hair" lettuce as Jim calls it) with horseradish dressing, and a large plate of perfectly cooked french fries, salty with skins on. Then we had a cesear salad with a cheese platter of blue chedder, brie, and a extremely funky yak nicely garnished with cashews,pistachios, currents, and apricots. There were marinated tomatoes (yellow&red), and hot whole-wheat rolls. Needed a little sweet to end the meal so we shared a slice of pink grapefruit meringue pie. Sandy and I have been friends for over 50 years and she is one of my favorite dining companions and I hers. We used to stand in front of our refrigerator and pick at leftover eggplant parmesan when we were 10 years old, but I digress. Hope everyone will try out this place if you can.

to be rich and healthy with nothing to do now thats a good thing rich
Hamilton is northeast of Trenton, easily accessible from 295, take exit 65A to get to Grounds for Sculpture.
Hmmmmmmmm, Ricky-boy you are nothing if not consistent in your dickyness. Ah yes, its good to be rich and healthy and have most of my teeth, to have a wonderful husband, children and grandchildren, friends and lots of interesting things to do. I am very blessed.I would write more but I have to get to the spa for my morning treatments, then its off to the vault to push my gold around with a little bulldozer.
although grounds for sculpture is a wonderful place to visit, I suggest that you pack heat when visiting. It is located in a nasty section of trenton. Not a block from the entrance I was offered crack cocaine and sex for money. I had to turn down the sex, cause my kids was with me, but thats some good ass crack.

personally, i'm sick of anonymous. and i don't mean richard who signs his posts probably because he doesn't know his username or his password. i mean the arrogant gutless anonymous who may or may not be a member of the family who should identify himself (herself) or get lost.
and as for money, it ain't how much you got; it's how you spend it. it ain't what you drive, it's how you drive. it ain't what you wear, it's how you wear it. it ain't where you go but what you see when you get there. and it ain't none of it worth a shit less you got some decent reason for it.
