Before N After

Good Morning Thursday!
Day 3 of our New Adventure!

Took advantage of giving the bigger plants a nice Refreshing shower!

Worked out PERFECTLY as I continue today to get this place back in order!

The plants need reorganization & some order. If it doesn't rain, I'll work on the outside plants/planters. Garage needs the same help to find new happy homes for the cool unique planters I have :-)

Maybe I'll be able to make our "tentative" plan into effect today too!
{ Those that know, know ;-) }
I'll let the rest of ya know too! :-*

But first . . . Coffee!

♡ What a day! Wow! :-o ♡
Our 2nd Day of our Adventure!

I spent 9 hours doing housework & organization!
(Owning a business is only good for those that don't mind being busy) LOL!

After a long day, I jumped in the shower & changed so we could go to Green Bay's "Broadway's Farmer's Market".

By 4pm, we were "living the dream"!

We haven't been up there for Three years!
We loved going to it N would go up there like 3 times a summer but we didn't have enuf help for us to do so.

Such a beautiful relaxing time!
Have you ever been? If you haven't, it's worth the trip!

Produce, a variety of market items, Music, drinks, the wonderful smells of food (the brisket grilled chicken smelled awesome & they Were!).

We spent a total of 3 hours wandering around & it was WONderful!

Hoping our Next Journey information will be coming out shortly after we get everything settled ♡ :-) ♡

Good Morning Wednesday!
Day 2 of our New Adventure!

Since I fell asleep early while I was responding to comments, I'm going to show you our First Day this morning! :-)

After we got our final load of stuff that wouldn't fit! ~ Lori & I did alittle of well deserved relaxation while John went out to the shed to put the trailer in there to pack later (maybe today)

First we stopped at
● Ivy Trails Lakeshore & Jemm Boutique
● Watched the boat come in thru the fog
● Stopped at Intention Boutique since Lori saw cute posts a few weeks ago
● We then met up with John at Ryan's on York. Ran into Tyler that Creates Awesome items with his wife Marjorie Scheurell Bowring
● Last "fun" stop was to pick up chocolate at Beerntsen's Confectionary Inc.
● Quick stop at the shed to exchange items with Tammy and MY first look to how everyone went back n forth to pack all the boxes away. Yikes! :-o

That's where Lori left us at 3pm after being here since early Friday afternoon!
FOUR Full Days of Hard Work!
{ Ya think I owe her? Big Time! }
( I owe LOTS of people big time through all of this ♡♡♡ )

● Ran out to Andercraft Woods to catch Sally dig up some plants, but I got there at 4:05 :-(
● And ended with more stop at Wilfert Farms and check out these Peppers!
Remember the interesting Strawberry I found back in July that I showed you?

● Of course I did more work when I got home
● John & I decided to head out to listen to some music from 6-8. There wasn't any initially when we got there, but they started back up at 7pm.
We wanted something small to snack on & each got a chicken egg roll at Vues Thai Street Food, which was Great! One of the best, nice n crispy!

What a day! Round two! LOL!

Working on our next Journey reveal . . .

GOOD MORNING TUESDAY!
Can you hear my Excitement?

It's September 1st & we have Soooo Much to be Blessed for! ♡ ♡ ♡
{ I'll talk about that in another post }

We still have lots to do with the shop since we moved items into a storage unit that never got on the floor & our vehicles still need to be emptied, . . . Plus!

But enough of that . . .

This Morning, going to meet up with my sister Lori Brasch-Adkins who stayed at Harbor Town Inn and we're going to Relax with coffee by the lake (it reminds her of Florida ♡ it's her Happy place)

We're still here! Watch N See!

Took a video last night.
There isn't a trace of Before N After.
It's what John & I saw when we 1st walked in there ♡ :-) ♡
Watch for that too ;-)
