life is short





I have just returned from
Chicago
and although I went to attend an Inurnment
I found time to 
spend with my sister, Sue..








she took me to an adorable town
just a few miles away from her home...
which is filled with quaint shops and 
restaurants...







and we had a little time to catch up
and just enjoy each other....
so I thought my dear readers might like to go along...






it was a gorgeous, warm and sunny day...
with just a slight cool breeze...





and the gardens were lovely...
with waterfalls and annual beds...




we found a great place to eat and settled in
for a slow lunch...
which is of course my preferred way to eat...






a little pinot noir...






and the view from our table...





the sun overhead...







and everything in bloom...









no matter where you are, 
no matter what the reason, or occasion,
I hope you take a beauty break...
