what a pretty day today! we had our morning coffee out in our "gazebo" and it was so peaceful and nice to listen to the morning sounds. after bud trimmed some of the bushes in the front of the house we decided to head to super target. love that place! i can always find something there that i "need"! we did get some cushions for the patio chairs and some funky lights for under the gazebo roof.

we went to the upstream brewery for lunch. it was so good! i had the swordfish ,which had a avocado and salsa topping on it! yummy! bud of course had the pot roast. thank goodness they had "man food" on the menu for lunch! i know he was worried about that! ;) this is what you see as you are driving up the hill to the upstream. the flowers were beautiful, sure wish i could get mine to look like that! this is the entrance, it is such a cool place! thanks to jill(dd) we tried this out! she gave us a gift certificate to here for christmas no less. finally we used it. she will be happy to hear that! we also took home a couple loaves of their bread. it smells wonderful and i'm sure it tastes that way too! thanks jill for the great gift!

yesterday i "had" to go to one of my favorite little places here in town and found this cute jar. i haven't seen one quite like it before, so that made me happy! i put it in the bathroom with good smelling soaps inside.

i also got this berry spoon! my s-i-l elaine always had these at family get-togethers and i remember thinking i should look for some. she has all different patterns in her collection. she uses them all the time. they are just perfect for serving, well, berries of course and lots of other things too!

have a nice evening!
