Long Weekend

Never have we noticed the long weekends as much as now that we have a daughter affected by the extra day.  She comes home to see us!   JP was busy drumming at church on Saturday and Sunday.  K arrived later Saturday night as she had late appointments that day. While JP was gone on [...]

Mother’s Day 2012

We took Phil’s parents to see K’s stomping ground on Sunday.   After a tour of her apartment, we had lunch, and then drove to where she works for an outside view. And once we were home and exhausted, I begged to get a photo with JP for my day as well. I have GREAT [...]

More Birthday Fun

As part of Phil’s big birthday month, we spent a weekend near Chicago with Miss K.  She drove out about 1/2 hr after work and we had driven in to meet her. In an effort to post a quick catch-up, here are some photos and short (LOL!!) commentary! Phil’s FANTASTIC birthday dinner out (Chicago Prime [...]

City Visit = Laptop

I’m playing catch-up this week….. I hope you don’t mind.   Some weekend… I’m losing track…. we met Miss K in a suburb.  It saved her the whole drive home, saved us the whole drive there, and we got to visit!  It was wonderful!  None of us had the whole day to spare anyway. The [...]

Farm Visit from Another Perspective

K brought home her college friend, C, for a visit the other day.  It was K’s usual 22 hour visit. Delightful but always too short.  We’re thankful she has a job so really not complaining here.  :) Her friend, C, is from Singapore and was excited to visit a farm.  I wondered if she had [...]

New Couch

However, she has a very cool steamer and works where she sees very nicely pressed everythings.) 2.  make hot pink & turquoise (& ????) pillows  to tone down [...]

Our Sunday

This weekend had us headed to Miss K’s for a quick visit.  She had a to-do list (saved over a few months) for Dad as well but had accomplished most of that before we arrived. 1. Fix TV antenna – find more stations.  She took care of that with a trip to Best Buy a [...]

City Visit continued

After seeing her work, we headed downtown.  To the Magnificent Mile to be exact.   When she was downtown for school, we had walked in a few blocks but hadn’t gotten as far as the Hancock building & Water Tower Place yet. My uncle used to live on the 12th floor of 777 Michigan Avenue [...]
