Garage Sales Rule!!

I've been trying to find some good stuff at Garage Sales when I can this summer and this was one of my best deals...a rocking chair for Zoie...I got it for ONE DOLLAR!! The only thing wrong with it is that it had been chewed on or something on one of the arms...but I can easily fix that! Zoie loves climbing into her rocking chair and she really gets it a rockin!!

Sunken Gardens

Our friend, Lindsay (in the pic), went with Zoie and I to the beautiful Sunken Gardens in Lincoln after church on Sunday (June 10)...it was a beautiful day and I had dressed Zoie in such a sweet little white dress, I thought it would be perfect for garden photos...



Zoie really enjoyed walking along the pathways at the Gardens and was enthralled by the waterfalls and fountains...




She also enjoyed some of the flowers and plants, but by far, her favorite thing at the Gardens was watching the fish in the ponds!! She didn't want to leave after she'd seen the pretty fishies!!

Jazz in June - Lincoln

Every Tuesday in June in Lincoln is an event organized by the Nebraska Arts Association called Jazz in June (www.jazzinjune.com). It's free and is held on the lawn of the Sheldon Art Museum on the UNL Campus. This last Tuesday, the weather was finally so nice that I thought that might be a fun event to take Zoie to, so we packed her bag of goodies & stuff and after I picked her up from daycare we headed downtown. The weather was PERFECT! I got Zoie and I some hotdogs from one of the food vendors and we sat on a bench under a nice shady tree and had our little picnic!



Part of the fun of Jazz in June is you can bring lawn chairs, blankets, coolers, picnic baskets, a pizza...just about anything for an evening picnic then you find a spot that looks good on the lawn, steps, wherever and just chill out and enjoy yourself until the great music starts....people bring their dogs, families and friends meet and a great time is had by all! I think we're going to go every Tuesday because it was such a fun, relaxing time...you can see in the pics that Zoie was just chillin'. The music was good too...this first time was The Kendra Shank Quartet from New York...she was really good, sort of reminded me of a Norah Jones type of singer.

Sunday...Church & PlayDate

What a great Sunday! The weather was great, which was a nice change considering how rainy it's been! After church, Zoie & I had a great lunch with Lindsay at Perkins...then we both took naps! Ha! Later, we went over to my friend, Vonda's, and had a nice dinner and Zoie got to play with Connor! They were so cute together...Zoie kept trying to kiss Connor and he was not into that, but hugs were ok! He and Zoie also hung out in his toy house in the backyard and Vonda gave the kids a ride in the wagon around the yard...they really had fun!
