Between Raindrops...

Hi All,
I have been playing with my new camera, so I am out snapping between the rains. We are hoping this system finally moves through soon! I got what they call a "bridge camera." It has alot of the features of an SLR, but easy like a point and shoot with 15x zoom wide angle. I am having fun with it.

The ivy is really greening up!



The lilacs are in full, aromatic bloom.


Hope you are all having a great week!





This and That...

Hope everyone has had a wonderful Easter. It has been rainy here today and suppose to be raining on and off for the next three days. I am ready for some sun, so I am posting some things that are sunny to me! Here are some of the goodies I decorated the tables with for our church breakfast, after sunrise service this morning...




A little garden shed birdhouse Mr. Tennis brought home...




And look at this old beauty I found a couple of weeks ago. I an itching to fill her with flowers!!!





The froggies are liking all this rain...



Some sunny yellow :)

New, Old Things For The Hoosier!

Hi All,
I have been browsing the antique shops, lately. Somehow, Springtime always makes me do that! I love my Granny's cabinet, so I thought I would add some olden things...



I love all my things, and I loved my Granny especially :)



Do you not just adore this scale??? I have been looking at them on ebay, but found this one in my own area!



And, the cracker tin. So neat!




Hope your week is going well...

Mother Daughter Trip!

Happy Weekend All, Some of you know that my daughter attended Columbia College in Chicago, so Momma used to get up there as much as I could over a 4 yr period. We had so much fun on my visits, but she is not longer there, so these trips ended. We usually go somewhere once a year, so we decided to head back to Chicago to do some of our favorite things! Yay!!! The lobby at the beautiful Palmer House. My favorite hotel to stay at in Chicago. This is where we hang in the evening to people watch, sip a drink and talk :)
The Walnut Room in Marshall Fields on State Street. Sorry, but I can't bring myself to say Macy's. Here is our table. The flower show was at the store, so live flowers everywhere! What luck!

Looking down from an upper floor... One of a local florist display... Looking up at the beautiful mosaic ceiling...


Another haunt of ours, The historic Berghoff...
A menu from the 1930's hangs on the wall...
Let's go inside...


Lot's of fun was had and I so always enjoy the windy city!!!

Home Tour

Good Morning All, Giving you a little home tour this morning. Raining here, but warm temps today, so that is a good thing! We brought Granny's hoosier cabinet over from the Daisy Inn, and here it sits in my breakfast nook. Granny and I sure did alot of noodle and cookie making on that old cabinet :)
A larger view of the nook...
The other end of the kitchen...
The living room...
