Such fun! See here and here for how it's been in the past!

Surprise on my Porch

The other day when I got my mail I noticed two large boxes...

What could be in these boxes I wondered aloud?  To my surprise I found the most wonderful house warming gift!

Thank you SO much Melissa Sioux!  She hunted down my matching bowls and plates!  Sooooo thoughtful, I was blown away!

I told you, everyone should have a Melissa.

Mackinaw Island

Last weekend I visited the gem of Michigan, Mackinaw Island!  No cars, just right!  There was a ladies retreat at the Grand Hotel, so several of us from church went - it was a very fun experience!

Ooo lala in front of the Hotel!

Verwys girls waiting for the ferry to cross

Dinner - I had more utensils than I knew what to do with!

No trip to the Island would be complete without some chocolate - SHOES!

I'm holding up the bridge!

It was definitely time well spent with lovely friends and lovely surroundings! :)

Out the Sunroof

The weather here in GR has been absolutely spectacular! Definitely a reminder of the great and creative God we serve!  So I stuck my cam out the sunroof and this is what I got! Enjoy!

My street -

What a crazy looking tree! Who cares?! Not me, I own it, therefore I love it! :)

Ooo lala!

Lovely Lovely I just love Autumn!

So Proud

I love my new porch decor! :) Now if only home ownership could be all porch decor and no plumbing trouble, that would be super!

Happy Autumn, stop by soon!

Art Prize 2011

Heyo! Greetings from the home of Art Prize!  I for one am a huge fan, and just think it's a great event for our community.  If you get the chance come down and check it out. I happened to be in downtown GR today for work, and the people were swarming! So great! 

Melissa and I checked it out for ourselves over the weekend - very fun, I love when Melissa visits!  You all should be so blessed to have a Melissa! :)

Hip and Trendy on the street corner!

Last year's winner: Cavalry

Dinner from a street vendor = awesome! And please folks, do me and my 401k a favor and take a hotdog tray! ;)

All of this excitement was followed by Apple Crisp and a viewing of New in Town!

Great friend, great weekend!
