Buckingham Fountain

Got to check out the beautiful Buckingham Fountain in Chicago this weekend. I didn't see it at night, but hopefully next time I'll make it an evening visit. Also enjoyed more of Grant Park and downtown Chicago. Such a great city!

Cats and Dogs

Not having a pet anymore makes the house oddly quiet and boring. I'm thinking one day I've got to add another furry friend to our family. These photos make my heart ache for my buddy Elliot, who is not longer with us, and remind me of the absolute adorableness of cats and dogs.

Elegant Design

I love this bathroom and this dress. The dark frames of the prints in the bathroom, and the dark borders of the mirror are a nice contrast to the whites and neutrals in the room. I also adore the pretty dark ribbon around the waist of this nude colored dress. So pretty and elegant!

The Time Traveler's Wife

I am halfway through reading The Time Traveler's Wife, and I don't want to put it down! I admit I did see the movie first, and it made me want to read the book. But, oh, the book is much better than the movie (as is often the case)! The romance, the love, comes through much stronger in the book and you can't help but get swept up in it!
Of course, I can't help but visualize the characters and scenes from the movie. That is one of the downsides to seeing the movie first. You can't create your own image in your mind. But, the movie was beautiful, so I can't really complain! I think I'll be watching it again after I finish the book.
