How exciting is it to say that we went to the final game of the NCAA National Championship? We did and it was even hosted in our own backyard at the Evansville Ford Center. We got there plenty early so we could find our seats. We wanted to be sure we found them. The […]
I planned my knitting for the trip to be something simple. I bought this Paton’s sock yarn about a month ago and knew that as soon as I finished my St. Patrick’s Day socks, these would be next in the queue. I needed spring colors and flowers. This color way is called Meadow Stripes. It […]
Sunday started simply with a light breakfast in our room followed by Mass at St. Julie Billiart Church. It was such a modern church that we almost passed it. The altar was in the center of the church and pews formed a horseshoe shape around it. The stained glass was lovely. Our main goals for […]
Hello, Chicago! Thanks for opening your doors and welcoming us with some sunshine on this crisp Spring Saturday! Soldier Field is at our backs and we are looking down upon a great urban skate park.

Opening night was finally here, the stage was set and we were ready for the curtain call. Belle captured the audience with the first song as she wandered through the market. We waited eagerly for Gaston and LaFou to make their entrances. Gaston’s solo finally came and he and LaFou, his sidekick, charmed the audience. […]
I suddenly realized the play is Friday and I should plan on having something for Walker after the performance. I knew flowers were an option but I wondered how much my 12 year old son would enjoy them. I asked around and then did a quick search on the internet. Candy bouquets came up. I […]
