So... yesterday we were in Chicago, Illinois,
and today we are in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
It's crazy that we went from
this......................to this -- in a two hour drive from our base camp!
The drive was wonderful. We went from suburban
houses packed together to lush green fields with sprawling farms and lots of
cows. When we got there, we were rewarded with glimpses of sparkling Lake
Geneva.
The houses on this lake are to die for, I mean
HUGE, and old money if you know what I mean! But really, if I were to live on
this lake, which I would love to -- who wouldn't want to wake up to the sunlight
shimmering off the water -- I would want a teenie, tiny little cottage with tall
trees waving in the breeze and gloriously fragrant flowers that wrap around my
front porch. Wow, I can dream it, can't I?
So, why were you in Lake Geneva you
ask??
This weekend my little brother, Ed got married!
And, we all headed north for one hell of a
party.
Beth &
Ed
If that isn't the look of true love, I don't
know what is. Ok, can I hear a big, "ahhhhh."
Then we all busted
a move! It was soooo fun.
I love
tulips!
At the end of the
night, my two little monkeys were tired, tired, tired. The next morning they
slept in late. We stayed at The Abbey, a really nice resort, with a really nice
bed. So nice that I had to pull the sheets back and see what kind of mattress it
was ... because I want one!
I am an early
riser, and sleeping late for them meant I had to figure out what to do and where
to go quietly while everyone else slept. There are not many options for
quietness in a tiny hotel room. I carefully brought a chair from bedroom into
the bathroom and faced it opposite the toilet. I then made some coffee, sat on
the chair, and eloquently put my feet up in the toilet while I read my beloved
Cottages & Bungalows magazine. Is there anything "eloquent" about
being in a bathroom?? It was quite a sight, but everyone was happy! I got some
"me" time that morning and oddly enough I spent in the bathroom. Ha ha ha

Nicky
