I forget the rest...

Favorite snacks from farmers market. #bbqporkstick #homemadedonut

Emma came home for a mother's day visit and to go to cousin Willie's law school graduation party!
It was a beautiful weekend with fun visits and deep talks and loud laughs.

Emma and I went to the farmer's market on Saturday morning.
I bought pickled beets, eggs, sugar donuts, cookies and a bbq pork stick.
I have my favorite vendors and it's wonderful to find them up at the square year after year.
Not a lot is growing this time of year..patience is a virtue, don't cha know.



Emma likes The Grumpy Troll.   #mthoreb #wisconsin #beerhere

Emma requested we go to The Grumpy Troll in Mt. Horeb.  It's a small town a few miles away.
We had a nice meal there.

Pretty ride home from the Harvard train.

It's much quicker and less expensive to take the train back to Chicago, so I drove Emma to Harvard Illinois last night.
It was a gorgeous night.
The sun was warm and the wind was windy. (nature's air conditioning)

And I was with my precious girl.











Encourage one another,
Donna

  7. Your Whitman quote explains perfectly how I feel every time we get to visit our kids and baby grandsons - it only matters that we are together❤️

  8. Absolutely perfect. The visit. The girls. The love.
    I hope I will be a mom like you someday. Right now, I am dismally failing.
    This morning the kids are brushing their teeth ferociously because it is time for our teeth cleanings. They make me laugh.

    Sounds like a lovely time with your girls. Carrie and I just returned from bringing my girl out to DC for the summer. We had some fun times on our journey, and I know she will have an exciting summer! But, it won't be the same without her around.
