Coffee Chat
Hi Friends,
I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. We went to Illinois to celebrate my brother and his to-be bride at their bridal shower. We had so much fun celebrating them!
Here’s my girlie and I…who yes, is 2 inches taller than me! Excuse me while I go cry!
Who else always has to take a picture when you are actually dressed up and not in black stretchy pants??…just to prove that you do actually wear “real” clothes from time time! haha!

The weather on Saturday was incredible…and a whole 24 degrees warmer than in Wisconsin! …I swear, I live in the tundra! Tonight we go into another winter weather advisory and prepare for another round of snow! Meanwhile, I get to enjoy seeing my North Carolina friend’s Facebook photos of them in shorts! – Yes, I definitely miss living there!
Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!
