cont...Sandwich, IL Antique Market

I am on my way this weekend to the Sandwich, IL antique fair. I cannot wait to see what they have and what I can add to my collections. I believe it might be higher priced stuff, but I am going just to go see how it is and to take pictures. If I find something decently priced then I will buy it otherwise it's just for fun. My mom has been nice enough to want to come and accompany me. the boys will be fishing with dad and grandpa. I hope you have a fun filled weekend. pls enjoy this picture I took yesterday.

heaven on earth

today I took my children and a two of our favorite friends to this wonderful park in Winefield, IL. If this park reflects heaven then I am anxious to go because this place is wonderful. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. yes, it's close up there with antiquing. just to walk through this peaceful place is all I need for a little stress relief. the waterfall, the green grass, the wild flowers....what more can you ask for. if peace and harmony is what you are seeking visit a local forest preserve and walk a trail, hug a tree or just have a picnic...
