Weekend Update

Oh it was a gorgeous weekend. My niece, Isabelle decided she having a "spend over with me" last week. I think she starting packing for it last Monday.

We had a great time. She was a little annoyed that I didn't arrive in a timely fashion so she called to ask me what was taking me so long!

She is such a funny girl and I love her dearly!

The Art Festival was fantastic this year. So many great artist came to our humble little city. Free music, great food, wine and beer. I didn't go to the free concert with Gavin DeGraw and I am totally kicking myself right now.


Cali Hobgood-Lemme was my favorite this year. I really really wanted to buy something but I just couldn't justify it this year.



This was another favorite. I forgot to pick up a card from this artist. The booth was super busy since tons of people were intrigued by the art work.


Downtown DSM is growing so much - I have no idea what this new building is. It could be new condos or a new insurance building.

Things to do....




Sometimes people complain that there isn't anything to do in the big DSM. Well I'm here to tell you there's plenty to do. Here's a couple of websites to check out if you need some help. I, for one, am excited for Nitefall on the River and the Art Festival. And I found this Downtown Des Moines website that gives you plenty of options too. Summer in DSM is my favorite time of year!

Quote for the Day

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that,
but the really great make you feel that you too,
can become great.

The Best Thing....


the best thing about today is the incredibly warm weather.

the best thing about my room is the simplicity of it.

the best thing about my family is they are there when you need them most.

the best thing about my itunes right now is Sex on Fire by the Kings of Leon.

the best thing about life is appreciating the little things.

the best thing about tomorrow morning is my hot cup of tea.
