I Had the Best Day Yesterday...

Yesterday, I had an old friend come to visit with her three daughters. About 20+ years ago, she, my sister & I were roomies in Houston, and we had some of the craziest, most kookiest times together. As things happen, we lost contact with one another. Recently, however, we re-found each other on Facebook. By strange coincidence, this gal is from Port Huron, the town where my family and I have just moved to. So, she is home to visit, and we got to meet up again after all these years.

We had lunch here then went down to the Lighthouse Beach & St. Clair riverwalk. You have to see this water in Port Huron, it is such a pretty blue-green color!!! We just sat on the beach and talked and got caught up, while the girls frolicked in the waves. Beautiful sunshine-y 75° degree weather, with a nice cool breeze, great scenery, good company....a perfect day! :o)

Freighters are a common sight, but their vastness never ceases to amaze me.

Memorial Weekend - Green Bay (Part 1)

As a lot of you know, I'm away from home right now. My husband and I left for the memorial weekend to travel to Green Bay to help celebrate his grandmother's 100th birthday! (100!!!That still amazes me!) That celebration is today, but here are a couple of pics thus far.

Here's the love of my life in front of the Manistique lighthouse, in Manistique, MI (the upper pennisula). He was such a good sport pulling off the road everytime I asked to take shots of lighthouses and the Mackinaw Bridge along the way. I can't wait to get back home and add some of these great shots to my lighthouse series in my Etsy shop!

Here I am holding my new grandnephew, he's only two weeks old and SO adorable!!! His mom & dad made sure to put him in his little hand-crocheted converses that I got for him from fellow Etsian, ktpatino. They're almost as cute as he is!
