Joy’s Blossom Bounty

by Great Joy Studio | Apr 19, 2010 | Field Trip

While I was out on Friday, I stopped in to see my friend Joy. She had something to show me that was worth sharing. We both took time out of our busy day to enjoy a walk through her garden. The highlight was her beautiful Wisteria arbor. Sharing a stroll such as this reminded me of similar visits to my grandma’s garden. Thank you Joy. I was greeted by this furry face.

OK, I would have to say, the above explains where I’ve been the last couple of days. We’ve enjoyed a couple of phenomenal Spring weather days and it was just too difficult to stay indoors and work. I’ll share some details.

My friend and I had good intentions Thursday, when we ventured out on our mission to gather information and supplies for the Halloween project. However, we did begin to roam when we hit our destination, historic, downtown St. Charles.

The highlight, lunch at “Miss Aimee B’s Tea Room,” the perfect and picturesque setting to linger over lunch and enjoy a visit with my girlhood friend. Of course, dessert came in second.

Down n’ Dusty

Enjoyed a weekend long sleepover with the grand-kiddos. Walks, scooters, games, snuggling, movies and sidewalk art is how we filled our memory making time together. All were dusted in chalk, sprinkled with sand and covered in kisses, by yesterdays end. How about you, make any memories that you care to share?

Young Christians

Silver Dollar City is a bustling business today and celebrating fifty years of families vacationing there. These photos are representational of what I remember seeing as a kid when my parents took us. Lots of changes since then.

Thousands of youth from across the nation will attend the events at Silver Dollar City which is hosting the annual “Young Christians Weekend” beginning today. Middle daughter and her hubs are two of the chaperons for our church’s youth group this weekend and I’ll be with their tots. Great weather predicted today however, tomorrow they could get a lttle wet.

Out On the Town

by Great Joy Studio | Mar 18, 2010 | Field Trip

Yes, It’s true, we took a rare trip to the city for a night out on the town. Our daughter and her hubs invited us out for St. Pat’s day last evening. They acquired four tickets for Powell Symphony Hall for an unexpected show called “Bowfire.” A total string experience, described as a meeting of critically acclaimed violinists and fiddlers whose expertise encompasses a diverse range of music. An amazing show, great company, an interesting trip downtown to take in the city lights, offers a whole new perspective and some fun.
