{Shopping} Ikea Trip & Haul

 Oh, Ikea, how I'd missed you! 

It was so good to visit and get a look around one of my favorite stores.  They've added a big party good/wrapping paper section.

 And the veggie "meat" balls are here!

 Naturally, I had to try them..they were yummy and I liked the cauliflower/sweet potato "sauce" too. It was more like a mash that they serve under the veggie meatballs.  I was bummed that they weren't selling them in the food market, I definitely would have brought some home.

Not to fear, I found plenty of goodies to bring home in my huge blue Ikea shopping bag.

Have you been to Ikea lately? ever?

Oklahomaaaaaa!

 April was one of those months, where every weekend was jam packed. There was Spring Break and Easter, then visiting College Girl and then it was Oklahoma (and that was only the first three weekends!)

Miss High School had her second high school production (how can that be already?) and performed in Rogers & Hammerstein's musical "Oklahoma".

 She did Carousel in the summer so she was well versed in R & H's style: lots of catchy tunes, accents, dancing and a dream ballet.

I could always spot her by her bright pink bow and long, lovely tresses.

 She played "Aggie". (Obviously being a hat thief here).

The talent that the kids have always amazes me, it's hard to believe they're only in high school.

They can sing, dance and act!

 They worked so hard over 4 months of tough rehearsals but the show was so worth it!

 There were five performances over a four days.

 Of course, by closing night it feels like it all flew by in a flash and I'm always wishing I could see it just one more time. sigh.

Let's keep in touch!

Lovely Lilacs

My lilac trees are in full bloom right now and I couldn't be happier.

I've been cutting flowers and making bouquets to enjoy their beauty and fragrance indoors.

 They've also been the subject of my Project 365 a few days this week.

 I know they won't last long so I want to remember them.

I snapped this one with my Iphone (edited in PS).

I found some informative tips to prolong the life of cut lilac blooms here and I need to try some of them.

What's blooming in your garden?
