To those of you headed to Nick Englebert's Grandview Folk Art Environment, beware. We got lost in the most lovely countryside (hills, forests, fields, sunsets, farms...) we've ever seen for about 2 hours... That's when we decided Google Maps had misled us and broke out the Garmin. There are two different locations with the same address. But when we got there, it was definitely worth the wait. Everything was gorgeous, and was all cement with broken glass and unwanted children's' art leftover from school art projects smashed to pieces and artistically arranged on top. The shed wasn't quite finished, so it was there that we learned how the decorating occurred.
It was definitely the best experience of our lives!
