ON the Road AgAin

I just can't wait to get on the road again. Maybe some of you are to young to remember that song from the 80's. It's totally stuck in my head. I was thinking about my husband, Daniel. He's traveling in northern Illinois. He has a a meeting with a city buyer{?}. I guess the big dog that buys equipment for that city. Sure. Anyway. I just got off the phone with him and asked have you stopped at any junk stores for me. He said, " No. But I sure have seen quite a few in these small towns." {ugggg}  I usually don't like to travel with him because traveling with 2 children under 3 years old stinks is very difficult. The thought of small town junk stores makes me all {giddy}. True L<3VE!! I'd like to travel about freely like him! My girlfriends say every year we're going to go on some adventure, to a far away place. No husbands or kids..... and... no wild adventures for us yet. Maybe.. just maybe the family and I will make it to Florida this summer. We're so blessed to have a vacant family owned condo to go to.... we just gotta pack up and go! That still doesn't take away my urge or want to just go junking or flea marketing with the girls. :) I want to go to one of those big ones featured in Country Living. That would be fabulous!!! The Farm Chicks Show looks like so much fun, but Spokane, Washington is a no go for me. The fuel alone would be a mortgage payment.

 Maybe we could go to one in Illinois or Iowa. Country living has quite a few listed,

 but only a few close enough to say maybe. A few of y'all could come too!

We could be like a gypsy caravan. 

I'd love to have one of these sweet little trailers to haul around. Guys like sport cars.

Me, I love this little beauty. This is a make you smile kind of camper.

Put your thinking cap on & let's go!

Heres..... Maddie

Miss Madeleine will graduate from high school in 5 weeks. Where did the time go!?

 I've started planning her party. So many decisions!

 I found the cake  on Pinterest a few months back. I can say I am truly blessed to worship with such talented ladies. Tonight Dani said she could make Maddie's cake. I'm super excited! EEEkkkk!
Look at that cake. Super fabulous!!!!  These are also our school colors too. Double eeekkk!

Found Here


My dear friend Lisa G. has used drink canisters like this for years. I {love} them. I will be borrowing my sister's for sure. It just makes more sense. It bothers me to go to parties and see so many half empty soda pop cans!



 Find this lovely here


 

 Sweet decorating idea found here

 So we're in the beginning stage, as you can see. I'm trying to keep the menu simple, but Maddie loves "Grandma Pat's food" AKA soul food or downhome cooking. It is her party, but ........we'll see.
Any fun ideas? Let me know what you think. I'm open to suggestions.

With much {love}   Beni
