Every year I dread January.
The month seems to drag on and on and on . . .
It's cold and dreary and such a long month --
do you feel the same???
do you feel the same???
I thought so!
We struggled through the beginning of the month with snow and
an arctic chill and then -- guess what --
it warmed up!
Love it when that happens, especially in January!!
So, Maddy and I planned a fun day on Saturday --
escaping
escaping
the laundry and decluttering.
It just so happened, that the church and school I attended had
its annual Flower Show.
They plan it for January to give us all hope for spring.
A quick day road trip was in order!

| One of the many gorgeous flower arrangements |
I made my First Communion, Confirmation and
graduation from 8th grade and high school at Cathedral.
It is such a beautiful Spanish Renaissance church --
really a special spiritual place.

Brought back so many memories to be there!

It was quite the fun Mother/Daughter day!
First we shopped at Pottery Bar*n and some other local shops;
had lunch together at a sweet bakery cafe
(not a fast food place -- so unusual for us),
stopped at a major furniture store (just looked -- no purchases)
and finally got to the flower show.
It was go, go, go and SO much fun -- just the kind of day
I'd always hoped
to have with my daughter some day.

January does indeed feel long, but the hope of spring keeps me going. Those beautiful flowers and that church are sure to lift your spirits. Great post!
