Some of you who have been reading this blog for a while may remember the pictures I showed you of the outside renovations done to the hospital. I don't think I've had pictures on here of the inside of the hospital though. It really is quite nicely done inside. The atrium is especially beautiful.
This picture shows the orchestra performing in the atrium. We are on the third floor looking down from the open balcony on the inside of the building.
This next picture shows what the inner balconies look like.
My son is down there playing his bass. Can you see him on the right there? This picture shows the giant tree mural in the center of the atrium in front of where they are playing.
This is my son with his bass.
He's busy playing music in this next one. I really like this picture. The concert was wonderful. The musicians did a great job.
This is a water wall that is behind the atrium on the other side of the building. I think it is really pretty.
We were surprised to see the front page of the paper tonight. Look who made the news! He laughed when we showed him the paper. He said that the mother of the boy he has been tutoring on the bass this summer is a photographer for our local newspaper. Yes, we do live in a small town, don't we.
As you can see, I'm taking pictures again. My husband had enough points from his frequent traveler's plan to turn in for a gift certificate at Best Buy. With that he was able to cover most of the cost of an inexpensive point and shoot camera for us. I'll try not to drop this one, and maybe, eventually, we will buy one that has more features. In the meantime, this one will work just fine.

Looked pretty good to me! I still use my phone for all of my photos ;-)
Congrats to your son on the front page news !!! What a nice building it is
Congrats to your son and his girlfriend. Yes, I remember you showing the construction photos. It really turned out beautifully. What an enjoyable evening and thanks for sharing photos and the newspaper article. The camera is just fine.
Great that your town has an interest in music and has started a new tradition! Beautiful pictures.
Hi Chris! I'm glad too. It was driving me crazy not being able to take pictures. :-)
Hi Speedy! Your phone pictures always look great, I think. :-) We are lucky to have this new updated hospital. They are still working on it. They are adding another wing on the other side of the building. The hope is that these updated facilities will bring doctors here so that the people of our community won't have to drive to Toledo or Ft. Wayne to see specialists quite so often. Both Toledo and Ft. Wayne are an hour's drive away.
Hi Mildred! Thank you. I forgot to point out which one is my son's girlfriend. In the very first picture, she is clear in the back in the far left bottom corner.
Hi Dorothy! Thank you! The city orchestra, and the city band too, are neat traditions because they include all ages and are all volunteer. For a town our size, it is encouraging that so many are interested and willing to donate their time to perform together like this.
Hi Daisy, That place looks like a luxury hotel instead of a small town hospital... WOW--what a neat place. I'll bet the orchestra sounded incredible in there...
I know you are proud of your son... Glad the orchestra made the local paper... That is so neat!
Hugs,
Betsy
Betsy, they did sound really good in there. The acoustics were great!
Wonderful front page news and photo! A great keepsake. Hey! I'm glad you were able to get a new camera. Do you feel like you have your right arm back?
wonderful!
Hi Diana! I do feel more normal now to have a camera handy again. HA! :-)
Hi Jesson and Rey Ann! Welcome. Thank you for visiting here and taking the time to leave a comment. :)
Networking, is great and sometimes it's just the right kind of break we need.
G'morn, Daisy ~ This is a wonderful idea ... the atrium at the hospital is gorgeous, art, waterfall, et al.
Great pics to view, you captured it all beautifully. Congrats to son & g'friend for their involvement ... making music for all to enjoy, how wonderful.
Have a beautiful weekend, my friend.
TTFN ~ Marydon
Paige, it is good to have friends, that's for sure. :D
Hi Marydon! Thank you! I hope your weekend is wonderful as well. :-D
Love everything about all this!...The gorgeous building, the orchestra, the life in a small town!...Ahhhhhh! (and note about my comment in your newer post...I see that you DID get a new camera!! :)
That is so cool! Your #2 son can tell his kids someday that he was there on the ground floor(both literally and figuratively)!!
Hi Cassie! I hope they continue this orchestra for years to come and that it becomes a tradition the same way the city band is. And, yes, I think it is kind of cool that he was there for the very first performance. :)
Daisy great photos. By the way, for me a point and shoot would be great. I have this camera with so many options which I never use. I just use intelligent auto and point and shoot.
I like that atrium area and how fun to see your son's photo in the paper. Wow, really cool.
Sandy, a point and shoot is probably all I really need too. If it gets too complicated, I don't know what I'm doing with it anyway! I'm glad you like the pictures. Happy Monday to you! :)
Yay for getting a new camera!
Wow, that's cool that he got on the front page!
Sarah, it was a fun surprise to see him on the front page. We knew the photographer from the paper was there, but didn't know they were going to publish a picture of him. :-)
