Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park, California
We met a Michigan summer friend at the most beautiful place - Allied Arts Guild. The gardens were gorgeous, the cafe was charming, the food was delicious, and it was such fun to catch up with a Michigan friend in California. Wisteria, roses, and everything else are blooming here.Lunch was fantastic. I had salade niciose with baked salmon and tiramisu - both a first for me. Where have I been, huh?
That evening we went to the elementary school science fair where our granddaughter took first place for the fifth grade. What a treat for us to be there for the award ceremony.
All in all, a great day.
If you are in the area of Menlo Park (very near Palo Alto), it is a perfect place to take your watercolor journal. Is this too far for my Michigan classes to take a road trip? No, I don't think so.

Enjoy every moment of your visit. The weather here is diabolical.
Allied Arts is one of my favorite places, I'm glad you discovered it!
I love reading about your experiences...especially the one about the dog and the homeless man. Life has been very non eventful up north, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Still hopeing for spring though.
Thanks for visiting my blog. As you can see...I still am a 'work in progress'.
Sally - diabolical - a perfect description of Michigan weather.
Oma - It is a wonderful place. It is so beautifully cared for. I love the way it is just tucked away in that charming neighborhood. Do you go there often to paint?
Mary Lou - You're right - the quiet up north is not all that bad. I love your orchid painting - I think you did a very nice job with the white flowers.
