next to the book store......yarns!!! |
this is their idea of a traffic signal nice.... |
one of my favorite places to shop in a near by town, yup - this is a store |
a morning walk..... |
train travel into Chicago for the locals |
the town has it's own lake iceskating in the winter cardboard boat races on the 4th of july |
wonderful trees,
the folks in town really get into the Halloween decorating,
See the little child house behind the goblins???? I played in that when I was four. |
there's even a train station....
enjoy your day...
I'll be back shortly with more stuff....yarn, books, patterns....food...I'm thinking I should start with food since I'm currently hungry....all from Trader Joe's which brings me to this thought.
If you shop trader joes...what do you like to buy? The Hawaiian Bag Knitter and I are always interested in knowing what others love from Traders....
Years ago when my kids were small I did a bit of sewing I made these for my grandmother |
the upstairs master bedroom the closet door on the right grandpa's cedar lined one of very few memories I have of him |
the diningroom window ledge the house outside?? the original farmhouse |

I guess the old saying "you can never go home", sure doesn't apply to you. How wonderful that you have such solid roots and memories that you can keep visiting over and over again. Thanks for taking us along.
Beautiful!
What a lovely homey town.
I love that the book store and yarn store are right next to eachother!
I would never have to leave that street:)
I was just at Trader Joe's buying candy for my BUNCO party. Their miniature peanut butter cups are delicious! I also buy coffee there, peanut butter pretzels, balsamic salad dressing, pita crackers, and all sorts of good things! It's an easy place to find something to buy!
so glad you have a nice trip! trader joes....yummm, so many things...we like the coffee, chocolate covered expresso beans, oatmeal soap, nitrate free meats and the flowers~
happy fall,
katie
I really like the lake shots... wonderful reflections and colors! Sure was a fun couple of days!
Nice reflection shot and also love the pic with the colored glass in the window.
