Gretchen and Dan
What happy news. Dan and Gretchen are engaged. They met at Penn State when they were both in the Blue Band. They make a fabulous couple. Gretchen is a world traveler and took Dan to Prague last November. They travel a lot, most recently to Colorado and the Outer Banks. Gretchen is such a lovely girl and we welcome her into the family!

Night on the courtyard
This is a view I don’t often show. It is looking down at the courtyard from the top of the bank. I love the courtyard at night when the lights come on.
The lights are on inside too and I love looking into the house from the outside at this time of night. 
Have you ever ordered anything from Bethlehem Lights? I used Zulilly and ordered this lighted flower hanging basket. It has the lights on a timer so they come on and go off automatically. I think it looks great with the curtains. 
The lion fountain has a small light inside the water and I love the reflection it casts.
I hope you enjoyed your little nighttime tour.
Lewiston home tour
- I love to go in other people's homes to see not only the architecture of the house but also the way the house is decorated. The houses we viewed on Saturday were not everyday people's homes that you would find in my hometown. These were way above that. These homes took your breath away and left you wishing you lived there. Some we liked better than others but it was fun to see them all.
- The very first house we saw was my favorite. It was the Swan House. Don't you love houses that have names. I wanted to call my home Bramasole which means to yearn for the sun. It is from the movie Under the Tuscan Sun which is one of my favorites. Here are some pictures from that house.
More on the other homes later. Did I mention that at each home we had samples from restaurants? Yum!

Welcome to animal house
Linda is being tag teamed this morning. Today will be a laying low day after all the excitement of the weekend. Yesterday we went to the Irish Classical Theater in Buffalo to see a production of Noel Coward's fallen Angels. It was a British comedy and the actors sustained their accents throughout the whole production. It was a story of two couples who were best friends. A former French lover of both the girls shows up and how they try to justify the situation was hilarious. When we came out of the theater there was a downpour. Luckily we had an umbrella. We stopped at Joanne Fabric and picked out a lovely blue predicted fabric for the seat cushion of my swing. After a stop at TJMaxx we ate at the cafeteria in Wegman's. On the way home we stopped to visit our cousin whose wife is battling leukemia. We were so tired when we got home we could barely unload the car. So today is laundry day and we will read and relax.

Lewiston kitchen tour
Just one of the many tablescapes we saw yesterday. The tour was amazing. Not only did you see six houses inside and out each having three tables decorated but at each home restaurants passed out samples of food. I can't wait to show you everything. We are now at the Hampton getting ready to go to breakfast. Today we are seeing a Noel Coward play Fallen Angels. We are having a fabulous time.

Sister fun
Today my sister Linda arrived from Fredericksburg, Virginia. I will be missing in action on my blog for a little time while we attempt to get our black belt in shopping. We are headed to Buffalo to a tour of homes. We'll stay all night and eat at Salvatore's a famous Italian restaurant. We hope to take in a play on Sunday and maybe stop at a festival on the way home. Then next week we are going to see a medium. We've been to her before and believe me she told me things, names, and places so accurately. That I have no doubt that my loved ones are around still. We'll be eAting wings with the girlfriends and walking Sadie. It will be such a fun week. If I get a chance I'll take pictures. Let the fun begin!

Happy Birthday Don
Today my honey had a birthday. Can you believe he is seventy two now? I met him when he was eighteen and we've been together ever since then. And still smiling. We celebrated with a trip to the Olive Garden for lunch.

Breakfast
It is raining this morning. That soft gentle summer rain that falls and is welcome. The flowers, trees and bushes all enjoy the bath. I took my breakfast out on the breezeway and watched the rain fall all around me. The patter of the drops were so tranquil.

Chris
My oldest son Chris is in Switzerland this week for work. He is a mechanical engineer in research and development for Tyco Electronics. He holds five patents and a tool that he developed has been selling well for many years. He rode a boat on lake Lazern and went to the top of a high mountain yesterday.

Our backyard
The wigelia is in full bloom on the bank. And the bright green creeping jenny is creeping away. I love the back yard in the summertime.
