clear skies and cotton candy...

What a beautiful morning! We had a major wind storm last night...I guess it blew away all the clouds. This morning there is a skiff of snow over everything...the sun is shining and the skies are clear. I took this photo off the back patio this morning and a bald eagle flew through my picture, just to make my day!

It's the perfect day to put on the pedometer and walk! I'm looking forward to being motivated by all those who joined Lovella's walking club. Unfortunately, I came down with some kind of cold/flu thing and haven't been out for the last few days. I actually looked through the cupboards for some Buckley's Mixture this morning, but to no avail. Does anyone else remember that stuff? It tasted horrid, but seemed to work. When I was a kid we had three things in the medicine cabinet...Buckley's, aspirin and bandaids. That pretty much covered all the bases!

Lellow celebrated it’s grand opening on Saturday, so I stopped by in the afternoon. They had a busy day…a steady stream of people coming and going. I just thought I’d show you what a few of their favorite customers picked out while I was there.

This one had her heart set on pink Converse hightops. (I saw them on her feet later, so I guess she struck a deal!).

Her sister was more interested in the pink cotton candy!

Ryder was already wearing his favorite shoes...so he went straight for something he could push around. Their wooden toys from France are great!

And Ranen checked out a ‘Light:Night’. It’s a ‘hand-on’ place…the kids try everything out!

Lellow is a shop for modern kids in the boutiquey area of our downtown…operated by my daughter, Heidi and her business partner, Fran. By the time they opened in November they were into the Christmas season, so postponed their grand opening until January. Customers enjoyed live music and refreshments…cotton candy and balloons for the kids. It looked like a good time was had by all!

Have a sunny day...
