an Interesting Weekend...

On Friday I posted on Facebook "Off to Door County for my 2010 LARK - this can go 1 of 2 ways.. Lets hope it all goes well..." My friend Nachista responded with "I expect a full blog...with pictures!"

I went with my Friend M.G. up to Door County, WI as his guest for his cousins wedding.

The wedding was held at Gordon's Lodge in Bailey's Harbor which is a beautiful resort between North Bay & Lake Michigan.

Friday nite when we arrived they had a tiny get together for the families & friends to enjoy. after the get together a bunch of us decided to head into town to go the Bar called the Blue Ox, all I can say is DO NOT go to the Blue Ox, it a very very bad place to go to. It can get you into a bit of trouble. As a result of our little visit to the Blue Ox, I can only state for the Public Record, I cannot drive a Stick Shift, whether it's 4pm or 4am.....

Of course on Saturday we all had to go visit Wilson's to get a bit of Root beer , alright it's more of a 1/2 gallon of Root beer, but it was a great cure for my headache left over from Friday nite....



The Wedding took place outside by the lake, and the wind stayed down & the sun came out at 4:30pm so we could all enjoy a Lakeside wedding. the Guys M.G.& N.B. taught the Bartenders how to make a Whisky Old Fashion of Press & we all just talked, and danced and laughed the evening away...

The weekend went very well, (at least I think so) I had a a lot of fun & I enjoyed meeting talking and learning from people who all came from different ends of the U.S. for the weekend.

the only picture of Me, M.G., N.B. & A.B. taken this weekend. we all clean up pretty well don't we?....

Talking To Myself Always: New loves thanks to the Generosity of others

New loves thanks to the Generosity of others

When I got home from work on Thursday I opened my e-mail box to find out that my Friend Nachista From Utah had sent me a $25 GC to a Utah based online clothing store named "The Shabby Apple" http://www.shabbyapple.com/

At first I thought someone had hacked into her e-mail account & that it was Spam mail, but upon farther research I found that it wasn't hacked into & that I am IN LOVE with almost ALL that they sell.

The mission statement from Shabby Apple says it all -


"We’re an online dress boutique selling women’s dresses, casual dresses, skirts, and women’s apparel. We recognize that finding the perfect dress can sometimes be challenging, which is why strive to design highly fashionable dresses for all types of women. So please, feel free to have a look around. Whether you’re looking for evening dresses, blouses, or the perfect skirt, we should have something that is right for you! And keep in mind that we are always designing new dresses for women, as well as coming out with entirely new fashion lines.So if we don’t have the perfect dress for you right now, we should very soon! Thanks again for stopping by."


It's different Feminine and Classic. It's PERFECT for a girl like me...

Now the only problem is deciding what dress to put the $25 GC towards.....

Check them out & always remember to try to support the local & independent businesses in your City & home states & also those from around the U.S. you NEVER know what treasures you may find...
