I went to the Lake County , Ilinois Museum this past week. And I saw this lovely Guatemalan Hand stitched piece of Woman's Stitchery Art.Then I also saw a Record Album Cover from my childhood:

It was a warm reminder of my childhood. I enjoyed seeing it immensely. And this Cover from Another childhood favorite album


Outside, I saw the statue of the Lake County Wooly Mammoth:

I have loved it ever since it came here many years ago.It is much larger than it appears in this picture.

As we were leaving, I took a picture of the world's Most perfect red Petunia Plant:



Thanks for sharing my trip to the Museum! I had a great time, came home and went THUD and slept for four hours!

I sure did have a fine time. Being disabled has taught me to share my little adventures with others. I watch videos online about places I will never get to go. It's how I travel. so when I go out, I try to remember to share. Also, It is enjoying the day again!. Cheers,

I had a glorious time. I'm learning to pace myself better, so I don't try to see everything, but see what I'm interested in, first. Then if there is time, I head to the "Curt Teich Postcard Collection"! He invented those postcards with State and city and town names spelled out in pictures of whatever was there. It is a huge treasure that our little museum has it! I never get tired of them.

I remember that Alice in Wonderland album. Museums tire me out too.

The last time I visited the museum they nearly kept me as an exhibit.

You must be thinking of the Museum of natural History.
