friends till the end?

Could you take my picture.....

last weekend I had the pleasure to hang out with my cousin Yoli - here pictured. We had a nice time. This weekend she is off to Colorado to visit two good friend of hers. I have many cousins, but this lady here is the one that I have been closest to all of my life.

I had the opportunity to take her to Geneva last weekend and I also had the opportunity to take her to the park in Geneva, IL with the big windmill. I don't know the name, but the reason we were there was to bring back some memories of us and the times that we were brought to this park by our dads to fish.

My cousin's father JIM has passed away and she had never been to this place since a little girl. So I had the great opportunity to take her there so that she could see where once she fished with her dad.

I am so thankful that I was able to do that for her.

Memories old or new we will always cherish!

OKAY IT ALL STARTED LIKE THIS!

WOW WHAT A FUN DAY I TELL YA..... IT ALL STARTED LIKE THIS,

1. A LITTLE BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS WITH MY COUSIN YOLI. I TOOK HER TO THIS GREAT PLACE CALLED EGG-LECTIC IN DOWNTOWN WHEATON TO FILL US WITH ENERGY FOR THIS LONG AWAITED DAY.
























2. THEN OFF WE WERE TO THE KANE COUNTY FLEA FOR THE BIG DAY WITH EDDIE ROSS AND JAITHAN. WE HAD A GREAT TIME EVEN THOUGH THE SUN WAS NOT OUT TODAY AND IT WAS KIND OF COOL.

IT WAS JUST FUN WALKING AROUND WITH THESE TWO YOUNG MEN AND LEARNING ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS YOU CAN FIND AT A FLEA THAT YOU CAN RECYCLE AND USE IN YOUR DECORATING. IF WE HAD ANY QUESTIONS HE WAS NICE ENOUGH TO ANSWER THEM.

HE WAS VERY DOWN TO EARTH AND I TRULY ENJOYED MYSELF. I HOPE YOU DID TOOO YOLI. (MY COUSIN IS A FLEA MARKET VIRGIN)

THAT GREEN MIRROR DOWN BELOW WAS HER FLEA FIND AND THEN AT THE END SHE GAVE IT TO ME. I TOLD HER SHE SHOULD HAVE RESOLD IT THERE AS SHE HAD A FEW PEOPLE EYEING IT WHILE SHE WAS CARRYING IT OUT.

WE REALLY ONLY HAD ONE HOUR TO SHOP AT THE END BECAUSE WE STOPPED AND HAD SOME SWEET CORN AND SOME VEGGIE TEMPURA. WE ACTUALLY LOST EDDIE FOR A WHILE DURING THE TRIP BECAUSE AS WE WERE WALKING IN THE GROUP SOMETHING REALLY GREAT CAUGHT OUR EYE - TIRAMISU AND PASTERIES - AND YES WE HAD TO STOP TO TRY IT. WE THEN GOT CAUGHT BACK UP WITH THE GROUP AFTER MAYBE BEING LOST FOR 15 MINUTES.

OKAY YALL, I WILL TAKE PICS OF TWO GREAT THINGS THAT I BOUGHT. THIS WONDERFUL SET OF SILVER AND A 1800'S FRAME WITH A LITTLE GIRL PICTURED INSIDE THAT IS TOTALLY WONDERFUL AND GOT IT FOR A STEAL AT THE END OF THE DAY TODAY! YOUR GONNA LOVE IT!

getting ready for a long day today....

so another thing that I am pondering:

1. go short again (hair)

2. grow long again?

oh the things us girls have to go through....

Just Kidding..... feeling a bit goofy today!

You are RADIENT! or is it RADIANT?

well it doesn't really matter as long as you are Radiant and that it shows!.....

When in Geneva, IL two weekends ago I spotted this wonderful home across the river. Just thought I would take a picture to show you all. Isn't it beautiful.

While taking a stroll down the walk/bike path my boys and I found this saying on the pavement by a bench.

so here's to YOU! I am off tomorrow. My boys last day of school. To celebrate I have decided to take the boys to Brookfield zoo. I have not been there in years/centuries so I hope they have fun and stay tuned for my adventurous weekend with my cousin, EDDIE ROSS and JAITHAN at the Kane County flea this Saturday. I am totally excited. Hopefully I will learn a thing or two and find some great stuff since I have not been fleaing in a while.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

of course it does not look like this today, it's mighty cool here in Wheaton and the sun is in and out.

last night when the hubby got home from one of his meetings this is how the conversation went....

Angie, you know I am worn out. I stated, take it easy it's been a long day. You know my job is not permanent right? Yeah and what does that mean? Well it's not set they can move me if they want to..... what do you mean move, to where?

Canada..... WHAT do you mean Canada??????

So what does this all mean? it's all up in the air.

This morning he stated that he is not in the mood to move. Neither am I, I am just starting to settle in. It will be a year in July since I left MO.

12 years I lived in MO. Took me a while to get used to it but never in my wildest dreams did I believe we would be back to IL.

So now this comes up. CANADA! I have no inkling about Canada. All I know is that they speak French in some areas. So at this point who knows what is going on with the future of our lives. Will we be relocating again? Will that be an option again? What about my boys? Will I go? I don't know. I don't know.

bonjourno

lets see one day down 3 more days to go. I should really be in bed already sleeping, but don't want to. I really need to get good sleep or I am worthless the next day. I am a morning person and usually in a great mood well at least that is how a lot of people know me as the girl always smiling. even when I feel crappy I don't believe people know that I do. Well this post has nothing to do with these pictures I was just practicing with the cam and some recent paper finds.

hope you all have a wonderful week. Sat my cousin and I will be going to the Kane County flea to meet Eddie Ross and Jaithan and seriously I am getting excited. I wonder how many people signed up. It will be an interesting day and I am so looking forward to it. I will definitely bring my cam and hopefully bring you back some good shots of all the great finds at the flea.

Stay Tuned........................
