Hi All,
I have been on a trip to see my daughter, who is living near Seattle. This is my second trip there, and we had a great time together.
Here is a little lunch spot we found the last time called, The Library. Such good food!
A breakfast spot called, Fonte'. Yes, that is dear daughter knitting at breakfast :)
Here was my breakfast. Steel cut oats, fruit, a croissant, and great coffee. MMMMMM!
Getting ready to chow down...
We checked out The Fairmont, where we would be having tea, the next day.
A peek into the tea room.
Here we are down by the market area. It was a lovely, sunny day for us :)
Our favorite spot, back at the hotel after a lot of walking around the city. Snacks and a yummy cocktail...
Our last day, and a past boyfriend of dear daughter, joined us for tea at The Fairmont Hotel, as he lives in Seattle, too. He was at our house for many years, so it is always good to see him :)
I loved my trip, but it is always good to be home, again!
Happy Easter!!!

How about her range/stove???
Off to get some rest. I will be back with you when I up and running again...
Under the pergola...
Another shot looking north. The climbing rose bushes are ready to explode!
Looking south, the door leads to our new den. I bought two knockout roses to flank the entrance...
The trees are getting full...
And yes, glorious grass, where there was mud from the construction!
This is my Grandpa's old corn shucker. I will use it for a planter this summer. He and I used to sit down and shuck corn many years ago with this olden piece.

I have the table all set...
Everyone will bring a salad and I have baked the birthday cake and will serve the drinks...
Hope you are all having a great week!
Today was a lovely "summer" day in Illinois. I decided to create an arrangement in my vintage planter. I went into the shed and found these lovelies...
I love my lantern, with the battery operated candle on a timer...
Cocoa making sure all is right with his yard...
