Lola B's

Well girls…..

I’m off to rendezvous …..with a man….

it’s a funny story……

only if you have time of course.

I met him 14 years ago….

and we’ve been seeing each other ever since…..

of course some things have changed…..

I’ve since had 3 babies…..

I’ve lived in 3 states…..

I’ve moved every 4 years……

I’m a good 10 lbs heavier { but who’s counting..}

…this man treats me with respect…

he’s a family man……

and he’s made it thru 3 large layoff’s with his company….

this sweet man has a name….

but i call him “babe”. {and not after the pig movie…}

So we are off for a mini rendezvous……

we do this once a year…..for 4 nights and 5 days…..

we like to call it “couple’s therapy”……

and we go to Cali……to a house on the beach….

but 20 minutes to wine country…..where we meet friends for a day of wine tasting…

and you know how i like my wine……especially a good pinot grigio……..with a little “babe”

for dessert…..just making sure you are still reading;-)

…and Lola wanted in on the pic….with my new {old} grey suitcase that i found…….and i got her out of the ‘little house on the prairie’ dress and got her into this one…..improvement ….by far.

And you can follow me to Cali on twitter…here

See you soon!

Oh…if you have any FAB book recommendations…throw them at me…because in between wine tasting and eating at In & Out Burger…i’m going to need a good book…..

Oh…and the winners of the Lola b’s loot ….{did you think i forgot..}

*Wendy of Shabby Nest…

and

*Annonymous…..

if you could just email me and i will get on it.

oh….darn….don’t know who annonymous was….

so Rachel from little bit vintage…..

email me.

This is our third summer here in Illinois…..and our best one to date. The weather has been fantastic….70′s and mild 80′s……not the normal here.
Normally….the humidity kills me……making my hair look like i stuck my finger in an electrical socket and my cute clothes sticky with sweat.
Not this summer……
I have actually really loved living in the Midwest the last 6 weeks……
{ask me again in another 6 weeks…o.k.?}
Anyways…..for the last few summers we have scrounged whatever money we could find in the sofa’s and pockets and i even looked in the dryer vent …….yahoo…..found a five dollar bill sitting in there…..
and headed to the fair.
It’s not an inexpensive event….let me tell you…….

I had a great shot of my family….but then i noticed the lady in the upper right hand corner……..
i’m still trying to figure out how to edit people out……{i also didn’t know it was legal to wear a tire around your waste}……….
i know….i’m not nice…….
