Kev and I are coming up on wedding anniversary #8 this June, and I’d love to take a breather and sneak off somewhere (inexpensive and close to home) with him for a couple of days. Back in ’04, we honeymooned … Continue reading
So…writing that last post was a pretty emotional experience for me, and thanks to you, reading through the comments required a few Kleenex’s too! If you left me a comment, THANK YOU. I can’t even begin to tell you how … Continue reading
I’ve been sleeping in my cousin Aubrey’s room since we got to Minnesota on Sunday night. My aunt and uncle did a little redecorating when their she went off to college last year and it’s been such a treat to … Continue reading
We pulled into my aunt and uncle’s driveway just as the sun was slipping below the horizon line on Sunday night. Their newly-installed turbine was just a’spinnin’ in the breeze, and wow what an awesome sight that was! It’s the … Continue reading
Mom and I pulled out of Mount Vernon, Illinois pretty early on Sunday morning. She’s a real road warrior, this one… I kept telling her I didn’t mind driving if she needed a break, but she assured me she was … Continue reading
My Mom and I are roadtrippin’ to Minnesota (and Wandawega!) this week! We’ve driven 640 miles, and passed through four sunny states so far. The drive has been gorgeous! Such beautiful weather, and the trees on the sides of the road … Continue reading
The tide here on the southern tip of Tybee is such a trip! One minute it’s way up near the beach… …and then all of a sudden, it’s way, way out there… It’s actually much farther out than it looks … Continue reading
We’re still out here on Tybee Island…shooting pics of this pretty place for a magazine that’ll hit newsstands next Spring… …but we couldn’t resist sprucing up the front door for Fall (for one quick snapshot!) to remind you about Rhoda’s … Continue reading
There are so many pretty lamps here at Doyles on the Dunes. We were greeted by this one upon entering the place last Thursday afternoon… Those crackled glass finishes get me every time, and I think the color of this … Continue reading
Are you a guest book reader? I sat down with the one here at Doyles this morning after breakfast. I love reading about all the little things mattered to folks…like friendship and fun glasses… And that one of the wonderful … Continue reading
We’re back on our favorite island this week… …and we’re crashing at a cottage called Doyle’s on the Dunes this time around… I snapped that picture this morning, as the sun rose up over the sea. I’m so glad I woke … Continue reading
Kev and I made a trip to Books-A-Million the other day and were stoked to find the October issue of Cottages & Bungalows there on the shelf amongst all the other snazzy shelter mags! Starting on page 48, we found … Continue reading
Howdy! I finally got around to organizing some more pics from our trip to Ree’s ranch this morning. (Had to bust a squat to line that one up just right! LOL!) It’s crazy how fast you can take a million photos, … Continue reading
Welcome to Day 5 of Wandawega Week! Today I’m going to share a little bit about the friendly folks behind the oh-so-creative camp. David, Tereasa…and a sweet, little cherub-faced girl named Charlie. ________________________ “Boy meets girl. Boy proposes. Boy suggests … Continue reading
Welcome to day 4 of Wandawega Week! Today’s post features another area of Camp Wandawega- Tent Hill. This area of David and Tereasa’s rustic resort is home to a collection of vintage, perfectly weathered, Boy Scout tents. These aren’t just regular … Continue reading
“Even the most modest of projects can become something beautiful. There is no such thing as too far gone. With hope and a hammer, I believe there is always a way.” – Tereasa Surratt Boy do those words ring true … Continue reading
Welcome to Wandawega Week! What’s Wandawega Week, you ask? Well, it’s kind of like “Shark Week”, but instead of ginormous ocean waves, exploding with super scary sealife- think: a serene midwestern lake- filled with sweet little (non-ferocious) fishies instead. Oh, … Continue reading
We’re baaaaack and whooo-wee! what a whirlwind of a trip that was! We pulled back into Prattville just after midnight on Friday night, and I had fun putting together this video full of snippets from the trip yesterday afternoon… (I … Continue reading
