special visitors

On Thursday, two of my sisters (and my niece Alicia) came from Michigan to visit me. On Thursday evening, we went to Babushkas Polish restaurant in Clintonville. I love that place. It is just like my mom's Polish cooking. Here are some pictures from the visit with my sissy's.






After our trip to Babushkas, we headed to my favorite thrift store. While waiting in line, Elliott loves to test out all of the silly glasses.






We had fun looking at Scrapbooks of my kiddos. My sister Susan about peed her pants when she came across a scrapbook page of our old guinea pig's funeral. It was so funny to see her expression of Stu in his "casket" the boys made for him. Only I will document such an event, right? Susan, this picture is for you. Download it and save it as your background on your computer...lol

Rest assured, Stu lived a very full and spoiled life.

My "good finds" include an entire Thomas the tank train set for a whopping 3 bucks (not the lead tainted version), a little tykes dollhouse AND furniture (for all of Elliott's girlfriends when they have play dates) for a crazy price of 5 dollars, a KRUPS coffee/machine for 5 bucks (the espresso part was clogged up with a calcium deposit but with a little elbow grease I fixed the problem), and a real black pearl necklace for 2 dollars!!! It is just beautiful. It needs to be restrung, but matches the black pearl earings got for me while he visited Japan a few years back.

And of course, I made plenty of Lattes.

Thanks for the visit ladies!
