plaid

I love plaid and argyle.
It's just so fall fashiony and sharp. I've noticed fashion on the streets of my neighborhood and on the metro transit (bus) and discovered many individuals who care about appearance. For instance, there is a tendency to match the shoes with a hat or other accessory. There is a continuing trend fancy in handbags and scarves. Many of the children are decked out in new coats and backpacks to match. The parents seem to do their best getting their kids "weather-proofed!" What I have not witnessed on the real streets of the city are sky high heels seen in every catalog and store window. Those heels are made for sitting - not walking. They appear on the Nicollet Mall for a few minutes until the wearer has to retreat back to her desk to be seated for the rest of the day.

take care!

positively perfect

The light and colors around me recently have drenched my soul in happiness. What is it about the sunshine that equates this warm and energetic feeling? Is it the actual warmth and energy of the sun? Is it the luscious fall colors the leaves have turned? Is it the 8 bottles of wine consumed over Girls Weekend?



I may never know the answer to the source, but will bask in the glow of Autumn 2010 and try to draw out the lasting effects.



Karla has a brand new mazda and she drove us to Hackensack for the weekend. Her family was at the cabin on Deep Portage and we popped in so Jan could see the little ones. The Schaffran girls are quite talented when it comes to matters around the house. Karla has some kitchen skills which were deliciously displayed and Lisa's ambitious crafting had us all in amazement. Will you please sit down? And Jan was, as always, gracious, generous and seemed so happy to have her girls for a few days.

It's good to be a part of GW2010 and already thinking of fun things for next year.

Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.
