The inside of the buildings were so outstanding. So much art work and so many things to do.
We had a marvelous tour guide, and she had 'a shadow' with hawk eyes. We could not even sneak a picture! The tour guide and shadow traded places after every excursion. We were a group of 8.
The tour took about an hour and a half indoors, then we walked the grounds outside for another 30 minutes.
Here, we are on our way up to the original building very Swedish in design. The Lunts had originally lived there, but decided they had to look after Alred's mother and sister. Unfortunately the sister passed away
before they got there, but the mother loved her home. It was quite a climb!
This was their swimming pool, built in the 1930's, for which they were criticised. It is at least 15 feet deep.
Afred Lunt and Lynne with Diane Truswell... in their younger days!
On Sunday, August 29th it was Mary's birthday. We relaxed in our pool until it was time to change for dinner. I took Mary to the same place she took me on my birthday - Lake Park Bistro, a favorite place of ours though it has been years since we were there. We just love the Soupe a l'oignon!
We had an appetizer, a small one, then ate our onion soup. Once again delicious! You can't see Lake Michigan in this picturek but it is there!
Mary had halibut and I had a rib eye steak with delicious wild mushrooms. You can see here that I also was served asparagus with Holllandaise sauce. We both enjoyed our choices.
Here is Mary with her halibut!
You can barely see it, but afterward we walked around the building hoping to Lake Michigan! It was there!
Bon Soir!

So fun to share your weekend Diane. A beautiful property the Lunds had and nice that it is now open so people can enjoy the art work and all. And your dinner out looked lovely and you both look lovely as well!
Lovely to see pictures of your day in such a historic and lovely place - and of course celebrating Mary's precious birthday too.
What lovely scenery. I am surprised that the house of Lundt and Fontaine weren't more showy. I don't remember them actually (i'm probably too young! LOL) but they do look like some of the beautiful people next to beautiful you in the photo. :)
What a fun trip for you all
Happy Birthday Mary. Sounds like it was a wonderful day. I think you will love your Kindle.
Sounds like a lovely weekend...glad you had such a good time! thanks for sharing the photos!
What a great tour day with friends and dinner for Mary's birthday. You both look wonderful. Good living, I guess. Loved seeing you hanging out with the Lundts.
That was a lovely day and place to celebrate Mary's birthday and your food looked very yummy.
...so sad to know that in less than a year from this post, you earned your angel wings...we miss you...fly high my sweet sister!
