Happy Weekend

To all of you wonderful friends, Followers, visitors, and passersby ~ whether you're celebrating Passover, Easter, or just a lovely spring weekend ~ I just wanted to wish you all a wonderful weekend from our garden to yours...

Enjoy~

Good Times, Good Friends & Johnnie

I'm back... all is in one piece or as it should be and I can't help but laugh at the title I selected for this blog posting, as I know a few others will too.

The weekend was a smashing success! It was an absolute honor to finally meet my dear friend in-person and we had SO much fun! The area is gorgeous too and I loved Madison with it's artistically eclectic State Street ~ mesmerizing!

I must say I'm exhausted from all the gallivanting and it's difficult to catch up on work and all I should be doing ~ the couch & an old movie feel sooo inviting ~ but there's always loads to be done. I know several of you wrote to me while I was away asking for help with blogging issues and I'll get those responses out just as soon as I can.

my two wonderful hosts ~ aren't they a darling !?!

While the weekend overflowed with activities like shopping and lunches out, delicious dinners and dancing the night away in costume with lovely handsome finds like ♪Johnnie♫, it was also filled with SO much more....

It seems the universe seemed to knew that this little starving artist was hungry for more than just the usual daily cravings and so it not only brought into my life two of the most generous and kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, it also brought some long over due nourishment for this overly giving heart in the form of soulful enlightenment, pleasure, and relaxation.

So although I've said it in abundance, I'll pen it here as well and say thank you from the bottom of my heart to my dear friends for a weekend that surpassed my dreams.

Up, Up and Away...

I will be taking off for the skies this weekend, with broom in hand of course, as I'm off to visit my dear, dear friend Teresa, woohoo! She lives a few states away and so I'll be hopping some planes as I make my way to the lovely state of Wisconsin ~ whoot!

I have a few firsts to experience this weekend... first time to Wisconsin.... first time getting to meet my sweet friend.... first time leaving my child and fury companions in the trusted hands of my husband for an entire weekend (gulp! ~ we'll not think about that one and hope for the best). The excitement definitely wins out over any worries though and there's loads of fun planned ~ eating out, shopping in quaint nooks, a night on the town in costume, and even a *secret* appointment of relaxation on Sunday ~ ooooh... aaaah!

It's bound to be a whirlwind weekend and just the thought of backing away from this computer for a few days ~ yes... I will be pushing that "off" button (another gulp!) ~ is a huge step for this workaholic graphic artist but the greatest thing I get to experience this weekend is the company of a timeless friendship ~ sheer magick!

So, I wish you all a wonderful weekend, for those of you celebrating Halloween ~ a frightfully good time and as always...

Enjoy!
