It's actually near some kind of business complex or something, so the building in the photo is probably some kind of office building.<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by!Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-35888590931327478182013-07-17T21:25:00.213-07:002013-07-17T21:25:00.213-07:00Phooey!

It was so fun to spend time with our kids who are living there right.<br /><br />The park is a beautiful way to honor the memory of Ronald Last. And I'm so glad we were able to visit this special park.<br /><br />Our daughter isn't involved in family history sleuthing like me at the moment. She's pretty busy supporting her husband who's going for his Master's Degree in Accounting right now. Hopefully sometime in the near future she'll catch the genealogy bug. She still has time though. After all, I didn't catch the genealogy bug until I was in my 30's with five children aged 11 and under. =)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-2872989027696103982013-07-11T12:48:14.062-07:002013-07-11T12:48:14.062-07:00Hi Sally,
