January Weekend Update

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???

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

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!



Isn't this Cathedral lovely!!

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.

Having a little fun at at waterfall at the mall!
