Pictures, traveling and phones

So I am kind of loving Instagram.

I feel like I can share bits of my day with friends and 

it just seems to be the perfect way for me;

reminds me of the now defunct blog habit

in how my friends can share a picture and a few words

and capture it all...

{The above picture is my favorite peanut butter that is 

made locally in Grand Rapids MI, very near to where

I grew up but is found all the way out in New Jersey...

I buy this only for more special occasions as it is

a bit more costly than other natural peanut butters

but really delicious and made with Virginia Peanuts!)

Cleo is always the fun of our days,

the constant two year old in actions and at times

in cuteness factor....

I used to collect Holly Hobbie and on a walk a while ago

I saw these H.H. mugs randomly on a metal stairway

by one of the many brick buildings where various people call home....

Everything is coming 'alive' again as Spring is really here;

the flowers are out; people are biking, taking their kids for walks or

babies in big strollers made for runners...

I am dreaming of how soon the local pool will be open for the summer again

and those early quiet mornings with swimming...
