Have you been with a group of friends lately and the word "Pinterest " comes up.



They are all giddy and you wonder why.

Well you are missing out on the the best site on the web.
I call it my happy place and end up spending my quiet time cataloging great things I find on the web.

It is also a great place to find like minded Pinners with amazing talent and perspective.


I know- Can you believe that you have to be invited to get in but it is worth it.


So I thought I would share a few of my favorite "PINS"

Let's Go Out for Dinner!

Isn't it nice to still like going out to dinner with the same person for the last 36 years.

Friday is date Night- But it has taken us a week to decide where to go.

BAR LA GRASSA  1ST CHOICE

If I were on that show, "Best Thing I Ever Ate" I would have to say without a doubt the soft eggs and lobster bruschetta.  WOW literally out of this world.


But  We have decided to stay in our neighborhood..

 Tilia  Linden Hills   Second Choice

Everything about Tilia is just so quaint and adorable. I really like the numbered beer taps, precious!  The menu: gourmet without being pretentious.


Quick walk around the lake and we would be there...


But the Weather has changed...


So Finally we decided on our favorite once again

A "hidden" gem in the city, Pierre's is a little French Restaurant. Fabulous, luscious food in a quaint setting, you will fall in love. It did not disappoint.



Date Tip- Stay in the Neighborhood- Have a glass of wine at home and Walk to your Neighborhood Restaurant or in our case...

So even after 36 years - Dating is still fun - Nothing has changed

Even got excited because He said he had a question to ask me ?

My Heart Fluttered


 "Are You Treating Tonight"

Ok Some things have Changed...

6 Pictures 6 Words

Who doesn't love a Challenge and I found one in Oprah's February Issue. I have always been told by a dear friend that everyone has a story and that I should take time to write mine.

Well this sounds much easier but after trying to put 6 words to 6 pictures maybe writing a novel would be easier.

I have never been one of few words ...but

Add a Cup of Cocoa and Conversation

Who would you share this cup with ?

Remember Snuggles are mandatory.

With the snow just calling you to play

Don't forget the best,warmest snow boots.

 These have walked across a frozen lake and through many snow banks.

 Your going to love them

Don't say Ugg- They're amazing

But most importantly, remember to look up and see the beauty that the Lord has provided. 

Take time to just enjoy the solitude that comes with the quiet .

Can you hear the Snowflake falling?

Through all the cold and darkness

Beauty will show itself.

Anchors of Friendship

As Saturday approaches, I always feel lonely at 9:00 Am

I have moved to Minneapolis, but my heart stays behind every Saturday Morning in crispy cold Edmonton Alberta.

My very Bestest friends , who are my true anchors in life are heading out for a Walk

What is unusual about this is these five women and always some extras are always there.

Annie, Mary,Aunti Donna,Pat,Peggy,Barb and Myself{when in town} have met for

15 years, every Saturday

to walk, cry.share,become grandmothers,lose sisters and brothers.Marry off kids and just talk about the weeks events.

 Their commitment to each other and dedication to friendship is as deep as an anchor . Each very special woman is unique and independent but not one of us is any thing but blessed because we are in each others lives.

Reconnect with those who Anchor You

I miss my friends but know I can meet you any Saturday that I visit .

Who is your anchor ?

Saturday's Featherbed and Breakfast Retreats

Weekend Away tucked in the Canadian Rockies will warm your soul.

The Post Hotel- Lake Louise

Warmed by cozy fires , stunning views and amazing dinners.

Our family has so many fond memories of the Post Hotel and Lake Louise. A treasure in the Canadian Rockies

What better place to reconnect.

Just Pick Up the Phone

Great Place to Reconnect

Thoughts of a dreamy place to reconnec before you fall off the sleep. This was the beautiful and very Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in Michigan. Romance and Grandeur is bountiful here. Sharing some personal photos of a visit to the Grand Hotel.

Or having the Horse Taxi take you down Main Street

Nothing is better than disconnecting on an Island with just bikes and horses for transportation in order to RECONNECT

The Conversation

You've probably wondered what ever happened to your best friend from junior high or maybe your high school sweetheart. Life takes people in different directions, and it's easy to lose touch with one another
.


Ever thought  about an old friend and missed the talks and the laughter. I have often thought of friends that I have shared laughter, tears and dreams with.I have wondered what we would say today if we were able to sit down and share stories and one more conversation. Would it be the start of a renewed friendship or just an I care what is going on chat. Either way, it will be worth it.


Pick a special place, pick up the phone or in these days of Social Networks look them up . Make time for them . Let them know their friendship matters.


I pick a quiet snowy night- a cozy blanket and a warm heart.


Wonder what we would share- A Moment 
Do it  it will  be worth it
