The waiting is palpable. I thought by now I would have an answer. But alas, more waiting.
Despite the fact that we are supposed to receive an offer on our house on Thursday, I have continued to arrange and rearrange the little things. This time it was the one shelf with “knick knacks” on it. While cleaning out our storage room this past weekend, I came across two photos I thought I had lost in the shuffle.
Five years ago when I first visited Michigan, Brad’s family wanted to let me know exactly what I was getting into and showed me a ton of his childhood photos. When I saw one with daffodils in the background I remembered I had one similar as a child too. The next time I was at my folks place I dug up the old photo and couldn’t believe it really was the same background. Although separated by 1500 miles, our childhoods were not all that different. Our mothers used the same tuperware; our neighborhoods looked eerily similar; we could basically share childhood memories. It’s kind of weird actually.
And now that these photos have proper frames and prominence in our house, I’m not quite sure if it’s not all a little too creepy. We don’t have children nor do we see them in the future, so it seems strange to me to see these two little people on our wall…
I may have just convinced myself to relocate them again!
I finally went to the printers yesterday and got some prints made. One specifically I wrote about last spring I have finally framed and is ready to go for my friend. I’m really happy with the way it turned it. 11 x 14 matte finish. The frame was on sale at Michael’s and I’m so excited to give it to the new owners this weekend.
***I haven’t quite mastered just how I’m supposed to take a photo of something with glass so as to not get the reflection, strange light, etc.
We spent the afternoon apple picking yesterday. There was a nice break in the rainy fall weather, so we took advantage of the opportunity. I can’t think of a better way to say hello to October.
{We used our booty to try our hand at apple dumplings, Mmmm…..}
so much going on in my life right now that is out of my control. experiencing moments like this bring me peace.
So the lake yesterday, didn’t look much like a lake, but rather wet chaos. With 12 – 18 ft. waves there was definitely no pier jumping happening here!

I like that our farmer’s market is twice a week. The flowers right now are just amazing. These Dahlia’s were as big as my head and subsequently made their way to my dining room table. The sunflowers may have to be my next arrangement, but not quite until the temperature drops a bit more (that may be at the end of this week).
it doesn’t look like summer is over. or at least as seen at the local farmers market which provided me with ample color & cheeriness today. (& we will definitely be eating good tonight.)
After four years I still find the ubiquitous kissing dutch people amusing and worthy of a little snicker. My husband who is originally from this area has been ‘adjusting’ the iconic couple since he was little. I love that every time we go to his grandmother’s cottage, he makes sure that she knows he was there.
So we just couldn’t pack up our last Labor Day at the cottage without his usual signature. I’m 31, I’ve seen him do it for 5 years now… and I still think it’s funny.
and being away from technology. i even had to use a pay phone…glad I still had the 12 year old calling card in the back of my wallet.
i’ve been away for a bit. visiting with one of my best-est friends, taking a train across the country and then driving back with my mom, and hanging out in the windy-city with my sis. i also leave for a backpacking trip in the rockies this weekend. i love summer.
i’m loving these photos that my hubby snapped.
painting and repainting
When I leave Texas, I always go home with way more than what I started, but this may have been my best score yet. My visit could not have been better.
see for yourself
some very dear friends of ours are leaving tomorrow morning for a new life. we are so sad to see them go. Z-town will never be the same, but we look forward to a nice new vacation spot.
Well yesterday’s rant (and subsequent meltdown) aside, back to things that are making me happy: photos like these.
these came by way of uppercase and the artist jan van hollenben.
save the date by way of D*S.

enjoy the day.
We leave tomorrow morning to go to the cottage for the weekend. I can’t wait to enjoy the sun, food, and fishing! (And this year, no sweatshirts!)
my weekend was this kind of fun…
