The Wishing Bench Now 2017

May 27, 2017 by Debra

Hi, it was during my lunch break last week I decided to take a short drive. It’s nice getting away from work, see different things especially on a beautiful sunny day. My drive took me to the East Lawrence area. At 9th and Delaware is the Wishing Bench, a place to sit and make a wish. It was back in 2015 that I posted the first image of the Wishing Bench.

What a fun experience to see the added items of the Wishing Bench now. Enjoy!

A close up look at the front side.

And now the backside.

Does your hometown have a wishing bench? Did you sit and make a wish? Did you ever go back and add something to the bench? Please share below!

Best Wishes,

An Old Barn.

Hi, I am cheating a bit. Supposed to be a Wordless Wednesday post- however, I was just so excited with these pictures of old farm buildings. Every day I drive by these and always say to myself, “I want to take pictures of this place.” Well last night was the night. The sun was just beautiful. Now I want to have enlargements made and hang on my wall! Below is the complete set of old farm pictures taken.

Best Wishes,

Grandma and Grandpa Celebrating Briella’s Fifth Birthday!

Briella’s Fifth Birthday

Hi, this gma and gpa had the time of our life with Briella. We had made prior arrangements to spend this past weekend together. It was fun filled- late night Friday, early morning breakfast and Moon Marble.

Friday evening was low key, just hanging out at the house visiting. Saturday began with breakfast at the Waffle House.

After breakfast we headed over to the Marble Moon Co. Several years ago when Erika and Adam were kids we took them to this same place. Thought it would be fun to take Brie- tradition! I was terrible and did not get as many images as I should have. Below are a few, and of course if you visit the link- it will have more for you to see. There is no charge to see the marble making demonstration. We did purchase a few marbles and a T-shirt on the way out.

The demonstration was full. Many people of different walks of life- one group (school kids) was from Korea. It was fun hearing the interactions between them and the person giving the demonstration!

And then my favorite part of the weekend- a mini photo shoot with Brie!

A truly fun weekend celebrating Briella’s fifth birthday. Now I’m already wanting to find more fun, free things to do with our grand-daughters! If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!

Best Wishes,
