Since I don’t drink coffee or tea, I need to find other uses for my mugs! Like celebrating another Mugshot Monday at the same time as today’s national holiday… it’s NATIONAL CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM DAY!!!

And if I’m going to go for it… I’m going all the way with my favorite “Phish Food” from Ben & Jerry’s with caramel sauce, marshmallow goo & chocolate fish swirled inside!!! Gotta celebrate the holiday in style… burp!

Celebrated MEMORIAL DAY with a bike ride up to Fort Sheridan National Cemetery. Such a striking reminder of those who gave everything for their country so we could live free. The rows & rows of matching headstones are always so somber at a national cemetery for the fallen military members.

You know how I love to celebrate a good holiday… especially when it’s NATIONAL APPLE PIE DAY! I mean, it would be “rude” to not participate, right? Even if it’s just with a mini-pie?… although I kinda wish I had three of these?!

Looks like Pam’s mom is having a great Mother’s Day… complete with her new ikebana flower vase that Pam picked up this weekend at the PLANT & POTTERY SALE! It was great to see my pal Pammy down in Peoria… but c’mon, how cute is her Mom???

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the great Moms in the world…
to those still with us, and to those who are not.
Take time. Share stories. Make memories. Life is short.

Celebrating EARTH DAY with these little troopers surviving the recent blast of cold weather and popping up in my garden today to greet the sunshine! Fun fern fiddleheads unfurling in the sun… say THAT ten times fast!!!

You know how I love a good holiday… especially when it’s National Deep Dish Pizza Day!!! So I felt somewhat “obligated” to celebrate with a slice for dinner before class tonight!!! I mean, if I must…

A wonderful day to celebrate with whatever makes you happy. Some go the religious route, while others don’t. Some go with hidden eggs, while others of us go straight to the candy! Some go to church & family gatherings, while others of us will be out playing on their bike all day!!! Whatever you choose, here’s to another great day!

Here’s MY Easter basket filled with favorites waiting for after a good long ride… and who knew OREO made eggs???

Looks like Tracy is all decked-out for the Easter Bunny already… with her new green basket-bowl & cobalt blue sgraffito platter framing the colorful & “egg-citing” festivities!!!

Looks like an Easter Bunny in Pennsylvania has been busy decorating eggs! Pretty pastel colors in a vibrant green stamped bowl! Thanks for sharing Jody!
