Day 334

I am truly blessed!

Day 333

It is a beautiful day for November 29 in northwest Indiana.  If I could have one wish, it would be that Notre Dame was playing at home, I had a ticket with this same seat and they'd win.

GO IRISH!

Day 332

This picture was taken two years ago on Black Friday morning.  This morning, I'll be meeting some of these same people and some others from my class for our annual Thanksgiving breakfast.  I'd much rather catch up with them than shop any day!

Day 331

Could there possibly be a better prayer on this Thanksgiving day?

I think not.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Day 330

Back to the beach.

Day 329

Our Jack just melts my heart.  You can't help but smile when he is around.  I love him so much.

Day 328

My little town is getting ready for Santa to come to town in the parade on Saturday evening.

Day 327

Even the world's cutest cheerleader couldn't get a win for Notre Dame yesterday.  It's been a very disappointing second half of the season for we Irish fans.  

Day 326

Proud grandma alert!!!

This is Natalie waiting her turn to do her poetry reading with her class at Barnes and Noble last night.  She was awesome!

Day 325

I'm none too happy that they have changed the Santa parade to next Saturday instead of Friday night.  Please don't mess with my long standing traditions.  Some things shouldn't change.

Day 324

22 days and counting.

I can't wait!

Day 323

I was thinking about the upcoming holidays and looking at old pictures.  I came across this one of the girls with Santa.  They look so little, but so adorable.

Day 322

The very happiest of birthdays to the best friend a girl could ever ask for.  Love you, my dear!

Day 321

We are blessed to live so close to this incredible place. 

Day 320

Peeking through the beach grass.

Day 319

A cold, wet and windy week has left me with little time and effort to go out and take new pictures.  I'm pulling from the archives today from a trip to the Shedd Aquarium in October of 2011 when the jellyfish exhibit was there.  They are so cool.

Day 318

Looking up at the inside of the Golden Dome at 

The University of Notre Dame.  Man, I love that place!

Day 317

I have to get this shirt!

Day 316

I really love this shot from the 3 dune challenge.

Day 315

Happy Veteran's Day!

Day 314

This is the painting I am attempting this week.  I am pretty sure that this one is going to take all my concentration and no drinking.  I am really excited though.  I really love this one.

Day 313

A perfect prayer for a beautiful Sunday morning.

Day 312

I love these guys, but even I can't imagine what six of them would be like.  Just a fun little function on my camera.

Day 311

This little guy better find a warmer place to live very soon.

Day 310

Aunt Abby and Lizzy the toothless wonder!

Day 309

I never get tired of all the different views in the city.

Day 308

Did you know that the actual painting from the movie, The Picture of Dorian Gray was at the Art Institute in Chicago?  

I had no idea.  It's really dark and disturbing.

Day 307

After the wind on Friday, I doubt that the trails still have this many leaves left on the trees.  Funny what a difference a week can make at the dunes.

Day 306

There were some pretty angry waves out at the beach on Friday.  Further out in the lake they were 23 feet high, but these were really impressive on the shore.

Day 305

Halloween's cutest little mouse ever!
