A little of this.. and a little of that!!

I know.. this one is long overdue!
Thanks for the reminder Kate.. this one's for you!!

A trip isn't complete without a lovely self portrait!! Hehe

Day trip to Chicago.. 
Amanda had a reward trip through her job
at Mangolds.. and I was privileged to be
invited along!!

Yolk.  It's second only to Millie's in Sarasota on my list of
favorite breakfast places!!

The Ransom Cable House.  Downtown Chicago
has a certain excitement.. a bustlingness.. and all that.
But I'm still a lover of the quaint and old fashioned.
Gardens.  Brick houses.  Gas lamps.  Fountains.
And here they all are.. right in Downtown!!  Love it!

And, Chicago isn't complete without a stop at Sprinkles.

Long weekend jaunt to Kansas City:

Headin' weeeest... I always think of that old Jim & Jesse song from
 growing up when I'm traveling into the sunset!

Have I ever mentioned that I REALLY enjoy shopping in KC? : )
The Legends has never let me down.  Well, at least all two of the times I've been there!!

Orange Peel.. frozen yogurt.  Deeeelish.

Some smiles from five of my favorite guys:

Yes, those are spots all over his angelic face.. Logan had chicken pox!
