The Next Alabama Trip

I will be down in June!


I am photographing a wedding on the 6th.


I thought that for those interested.... I would do a quick free headshot session on Sunday the 7th between 4-6pm at Veteran's park in Priceville. Yes, the one right by the Fire Department. Everyone and anyone is welcome!!


Not planning on doing groups, but kids are welcome if you would like a headshot of them.


If you would like a full session while I am there. I need you to let me know so that I can book it by the end of March. I have to finalize my plans with the day job.

Thanks!!!! I look forward to seeing everyone.

Wild Olive Tees

While reading The Pioneer Woman website, I found out about Wild Olive Tees. What a wonderful way to spread the word! If you are interested in spreading the Word of God, check it out.

Their website can be found at http://www.wildolivetees.com/

They have a ton of banners and buttons on their blog if you would like one of those as well.

Here is the front and back of just one of their t-shirts.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer

Well, add me to the list of "I didn't know". How this information has slipped by so many of us is shocking. This isn't about a lump. Watch it!

My new hat...

... just in case you wanted to see it.

Dessert

I do have a great deal of Irish blood in me. I admit though, that I am more Irish in March than any other month of the year. My sweetheart knows this. Yesterday he suprised me with a new hat and shamrock earrings. Today, I surprised him with green cupcakes for our dessert tonight.

Daybreak... begins....

Rainy Day and The Little Gourmet

Today is a dreary rainy day here in Chicagoland. My sweetheart worked this morning until he was completely soaked. He ran errands with me this afternoon. Well, to be honest, he ran the errands and had me stay in the car so I wouldn't get wet and chilled making my cold worse.





Since we were out and about, he took me to lunch at one of the local spots that I have been wanting to visit. The Little Gourmet is one my favorite stops during the Taste of Roselle each year. The fruit kabobs they serve at the Taste are incredible! They are one of the items on their Catering Menu.

Glenn ordered the "Little Gourmet Special" sandwich, with turkey. He let me try a bite and it was delicious! I ate a three cheese (not Italian) grilled cheese sandwich with a bowl of chicken noodle soup, the special of the day. YUM!






I admit I am not a root beer fan. Glenn, however, loves it! He declared that this was the best root beer he's ever had. I had a really good Black Cherry soft drink.

We did a little window shopping and made a list of things we would like. This olive oil is one of them! We also want this cute little oil dispenser (the black one there) it will match our dream kitchen.

For decorations, they use their products. So, everything is for sale. It is such an adorable shop. It has all these cute vignettes of ideas and products.

I love their business phone!

They are open everyday except Sunday. They also stay open until nine on Friday nights. If you are in the area you should check it out. The service was perfect. The food was wonderful. The atmosphere is warm and inviting.

15 Minutes & a Chicken Sandwich

At the day job today, I managed to take a 15 minute break for a quick lunch. Went downstairs and bought an unremarkable chicken sandwich. Here are the two interesting views from where I was sitting.
