Cafe!
This is a painting I am working on for my kitchen. It needs a lot more work but I kind of like the progress I have made so far. I love cafes and the idea of having a painting of a cafe in my kitchen makes me happy:) Alfresco dining all year round!

Scenes from a weekend...
Hello! I know it is already Tuesday, but I have been out of town and unable to post! Here are some scenes from my weekend...it was amazing and picturesque! I hope you had a lovely one as well!
On Sunday the husband and I had a fantastic brunch with my family at a state park located on Lake Erie. Afterwards the husband and I walked around and I took some pictures!
And yes there was a......

and of course some lovely sailing going on!

We also walked along this marina and gawked at the boats (we sooo want one!)

Next time we go, we want to rent one of these canoes for the day...how fun would that be?!

We DID rent bikes with my aunt and uncle and had the best time ever:)

All of the bikes are yellow..they were awesome! I am so getting my bike out of storage now!
We rented bikes for 2 hours and rode throughout the state park. This is what we saw:

After the bike riding, my aunt and uncle took the husband and I out for ice cream (the only way to make the day complete!) They took us to the most adorable ice cream shop..I wish I lived close to it, I would come EVERYDAY (probably for the better that I am far away!)
