White Point Resort is surely one of the treasures we enjoy in Liverpool. Today, Gloria, Gary, Ken and I went there for lunch. The place was buzzing with children and adults swimming in the ocean and the pool as well as walking and playing on the beach. This was the first visit to White Point this year and we were delighted to see the place looking happy. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was excellent. After the fire, the rebuilt lodge has the same ambiance as the old but now is brighter and modern. The big fireplaces are still there. We four did what everyone else does at the lodge: we had our picture taken in front of the fireplace.
Prior to lunch, we four visited another Liverpool treasure, which is the Sculpture Gardens behind Cosby's Nursery. I had not been there for two years so this visit presented me with many new sculptures. Ivan has made every sculpture. And he installs them in the woods. As you wander along the many paths, you come upon the most magnificent sculptures. One dragon is huge. Ivan told us it weighs several tons. Today for the first time I saw three huge turtles on top of a hill. The whole scene is astonishing. In the center is a small hut, made of wood. On the top is a small boy sitting cross legged, overlooking the whole scene. As is normal, no one else was there to see all the wonderful pieces. My favorite is still the five dancers, arranged against the blue sky, looking at any time as if the could begin dancing. I feel honored to be able to view these sculptures. They are a treasure to Liverpool even though most people have never seen them.
We still hope to have Ivan make a piece for our place. Gloria suggested a child holding a kite. Or maybe a seal or two. His work is wonderful. He does it all for himself. He just likes them. And so do I.
