  • Friday.

    An upbeat, Country, Inspirational song for your weekend.
    HERE

    Today it snowed. hailed. rained. and was windier than windy could be.
    and even though our Saturday is only a high of 45…it’s supposed to be sunny! 

    From the iPhone.

    I don’t need one, but….. {anthropologie}
    Why I don’t want to visit the Grand Canyon with my husband and boys. {fearless}
    We weren’t supposed to exchange gifts. {he said one rose doesn’t count}
    Coffee/Brownie/Strawberry Frap {grocery shopping pick-us-up}
    Empty lake, lonely canoes. {hoping soon}
    World’s Biggest Strawberry! {my reliable sources tell me}

    *What ever happened to those fashion tip Fridays?
    Maybe I should bring them back.* 

    Happy Weekend.

  • a fun, lovely post Liz! anything you post makes me happy.
    have a good weekend!!

  • A set of lovely memories.  Hope you all dry out and warm up!

  • I’m loving these photos again!!! You take the coolest iPhone ones! We’re 72 and sunny today. Wanna pop in for a visit? heehee. Oh, and the G.Canyon is only a couple hours or so away.

  • @Richgem - Apparently we were commenting each other at the same time! I was just saying how jealous I am of your 72 degrees! Haha! Yes!!! I would LOVE to come for a visit. and maybe even see the Grand Canyon..without my boys. ;)

  • @Elizabethmarie_1 - Funny, funny! I realized that after I posted and began perusing around!  Now, I’ll go back and read your comment! Haha! great timing!

  • Love your new header!!

    And the cups from anthro, so pretty stacked like that. 

    I’m listening to the song as I type—thank you!

    The strawberry picture is so lovely, especially with your daughter’s pretty dress fabric….love it.

    Happy Monday, Liz!

  • I like those cups too! I hope you get a warm spring very soon! :D

  • Elisabeth, I tried to send you an e-mail, but it looked like it was going to a “no-reply” address, and I didn’t see another.  In case it doesn’t come through, here is what I wrote;

    Hi Elizabethmarie_1!Thanks for the info!  I’m looking
    forward to that French toast…The Illinois Holocaust Museum is in Skokie; here’s a link;http://www.ilholocaustmuseum.org/You can go and just visit, but it helps to go through their education
    office and try to arrange a visit when a Holocaust survivor is speaking.  My kids were fascinated, listening to the
    gentleman talk about his experiences growing up in Germany, and then at
    Dachau.  If you can get hold of them in
    time, Bernotas Middle School in Crystal Lake is also having Egon Langhammer
    speak.  He grew up in Germany, too, but
    as a German boy who then joined the Hitler Youth and, eventually, the German
    Navy.  I think he is speaking on April 24th.  Ack! 
    That’s tomorrow!  But call the
    school.  Maybe you can get over there to
    see him.  I saw him speak at MCC last
    fall, and, although he is elderly and has some strong feelings, his
    presentation was very good and gave another perspective on the time.I don’t know if you have figured out who I am.  I used to belong to H.E.R.I.T.A.G.E. years ago,
    and was a happy recipient of your mom’s hospitality for many of those
    meetings!  My own kids are grown and our
    youngest, Mary, attends Faith Lutheran High School in Crystal Lake, where I
    teach.  There are only 70 students, sol
    its like homeschooling in a public building!Take care,Melody Peterman

  • Well.  THAT was annoying.  I’m sorry for whatever it was that I did that caused that!
