It's the Cherries

Today's Beautiful Thing is dinner with my pals, the Cherries. There were about 35 of us at dinner, some old friends, some new, and even a cherry spouse! We had a wonderful time.

Bonus Beautiful Thing: visiting the Grace Cathedral with some of my dearest friends. It was a sacred and mystical place and I'm so glad I shared the experience with those I hold dear. (L to R: Robin, Katy, me, Michele, Pat & Cory)

A Grand Adventure

Today's Beautiful Thing is doing something new. Michele and I are off to San Francisco by bus very early this morning. A first for both of us. The ride will be long, but time flies when we're together. San Francisco, here we come!

Artsy

Today's Beautiful Thing is supporting artistic endeavors and treating myself to a birthday gift all at the same time. I bought this lovely necklace and earrings from Pamela Angus, a wonderful artist on etsy.com. I can't wait to receive them!

Packing

Today's Beautiful Thing is packing--which is something I don't usually enjoy very much. Tonight I picked out some outfits and accessories, folded everything and it all fit in my suitcase. It was entirely too easy, but ok. A girl can get used to this. :) San Francisco, here we come!

Anticipation Pt II

Today's Beautiful Thing is even more antcipation. What an exciting week it's been! I've been shopping, washing clothes, and packing for my trip to San Francisco for RWA National. Michele and I leave bright and early Wed AM and will be home Sun PM. I can't wait!

Great Deals

Today's Beautiful Thing is bargain shopping. I bought 2 pairs of jeans for $14.99 each. Plus, we found 2 large framed prints in very nice glass frames (not those cheep poster frames) in just the type of design we've been looking for at $19.99 each. I also got a cute girly T-shirt with a foil design. Total cost- $82.00 I love Ross. :)

Growing!

Today's Beautiful Thing is one, two, three, four, FIVE happy-faced sunflowers over the back yard fence. It's been so much fun watching the neighbors' garden grow along with them. :)
