Our Visit to the Elisabet Ney Sculpture Garden

We went to the Elisabet Ney Sculpture Garden yesterday. It was interesting and fun to learn about. We learned how the busts were made and then, we saw a statue of Lady Macbeth with blood on her hands. The reason she has blood on her hands is that she killed someone and she had her husband kill people and she was upset.  What I liked about the museum in there is that it has statues of people from stories. There was even a bust of Jesus Christ. I thought that she did a good job.

The Elisabet Ney Sculpture Garden and Museum is a must for people who like art or statues. We went to this place because my sister likes art.  

In 1907, Elisabet Ney suffered a heart attack. Dr.  Montgomery rushed to her side and stayed there until she died that June.  After she died, the house was sold to her friend and it was turned into a museum. Her sculptures are in the house today. The second floor in this building tells the history of her marriage, and her life.

Here is a picture of us outside the Sculpture garden, posing as statues.

Here is a picture of the dog park where we took Mickey.  He used to try to bite other dogs but after working with a trainer, he is nice to the other dogs now, even the little ones.  That's because the trainer said Mickey thought he was the only boyfriend Mama could have so he wouldn't let any other guy dogs around her.  Now, he knows how to behave and he doesn't try to eat the little dogs.

We are now on our way to San Antonio, where we will visit the Alamo. I will also ride the trains there too. The Austin Steam Train Association is also in San Antonio. I will blog about San Antonio later. San Antonio is only an hour away, but we had car trouble, and the car was not running well. We have only 15 minutes to drive it or else it will stall and all the lights will light up.  Luckily, everything in Austin is only about ten minutes away.  We have seen three mechanics and no one knows what is wrong with it.  So, we are seeing a Volvo specialist in San Antonio on Monday.  Hopefully they will be able to fix it then.  When we get to San Antonio, we will be walking all day on Mother's Day in the historic district after church and then the next day the car will be in the shop all day while we hope to ride the train so Mickey is going on vacation to the kennel on those days.  He is going to get a bath at the groomers while he is on his vacation.  I don't think he will like that.  He doesn't like to be wet - even on hot days.
