old stompin’ grounds

Maggie
I’m heading home to spend time with the family and to show the boyfriend where I grew up. Nothing like taking him to my old stompin’ grounds filled with fried catfish and back roads.
Happy Weekend!

1) I have a thing for cloud pictures. I think that’s apparent.

2) I’ve got a pup that is sneakily trying to learn how to drive. Take my eyes off the driver for one second and somehow she’s in the seat.

4) Quick glimpse of my outfit this week. Now with school back my clothes are lasting much longer than my average 8-5 job. Try 8am – 10pm.

5) Nothing beats a day at the lake. Tubing. Fishing. Relaxing. One word can sum it all up – perfect.

Walking in a daze

building

I woke up early Saturday and headed to one of my favorite streets in Springfield.  There is a massage school there and they give the best one-hour massages on a budget.

After I have completely lost all ability to think properly and some motor skills I wandered outside.  I decided to do some more wandering and snapped some pictures.

So, after a nice morning of relaxation and walking around in a daze I spent the remainder of the day running errands.

Commercial Street

The last two pictures are of a historic firehouse that is absolutely breathtaking. My good friends got married there about 2 years ago and the inside is just a unique as this little garden.
