Beautiful Capitols....

Hey Chickies!




I had so much fun touring our Washington State Capitol, it made we wonder what other State Capitols were like.... Oh my goodness....we have some absolutely beautiful architecture here in the US of A! Wow!


I got several messages from chickies who visit capitols of states they visit. Isn't that a grand idea? I want to see alll of them.


My Hubbs' best friend has been to every single state. I would love to do that. Wouldn't that be great? So many things I'd love to see before I go to be with Jesus.



So, in the meantime, I did a little internet search. Here are some of my favorites.


I must say, there were a few that were none too attractive....but they shall remain unnamed.....I'll just share these lovelies.



The one above is Wisconsin. So pretty.

I sure hope I haven't messed up the order here.... and given New York to Kansas or something. :-)

That's exactly why I've procrastinated on doing this post. Yikes!

Vermont

South Carolina

Pennsylvania

Ohio

New York..... I really think one is amazing.....

Mississippi

Massachusetts

Maine

Kentucky

Kansas

Iowa

Indiana

Indiana



Georgia

Florida

Wasn't that fun? Aren't they amazing? Are you inspired to take a little trip to you very own State Capitol??


My darling Hubbs was out of town this weekend so I had a sleepover party with my daughter and grandson.... I LOVE spending time with them.


My daughter and I sorted and organized her scrapbooking room. Lots of walks down memory lane.....and some tears.

Now, let me tell you.... I RARELY cry. I don't know where my tears went, but they just don't come anymore........well, they sure did this weekend.

My little grandson is ten.... TEN! That went by soooo quickly....it was so sweet to revisit all those sweet little baby pictures.... Oh my gosh, he was such a cutie.....some notes from my Mum to my daughter and pictures of my son-in-law and grandson together. My son-in-law was killed in a car accident when my precious little grandson was only 2 1/2.... it's a sad thing to see him want a daddy...... and that shows up in his artwork sometimes too. Bless his heart. I love him so much.....and that WILL make me cry.



Ok chickies!..... off to start another busy week. I'm having a day with my BFF tomorrow. We're just a smidge behind....we haven't even done our Christmas together yet. Brother....



Huggies and lovies!!!

Is this the cutest darn garden gate? It even has a door plate? Wow!

These homes are in my daughter's neck of the woods here in the Northwest. It's not the architecture of the South or the East Coast, but soooo pretty, I think!

You can click on any of the photos for a bigger shot!....you know you want to! ;-)

This home belongs to that lovely gate...............dreaming of that wall and landscaping........ :-)

I'm in love with black shutters!

Mmmmmmmmm......aren't those the prettiest windows???

This old gal needs some TLC, but my daughter and I both just love this home!

This home is enormous!!!! And, many of these homes have a view of Puget Sound........YUM!

High on a hill with a beautiful view.......

I always think it would be fun to live in a place like this! :-)

They just don't do windows like this one any more, do they??

Just look at all the detail!

A more modest home, but still.........way bigger than Bellamere Cottage!!! :-)

Something is just WRONG about that apartment building.....

Stately!

Wooops.........didn't seem to get the close-up shot even near the "full" shot.....sorry! It's sooo big and part of it is cut off in the snap too! YIKES! Hmmmm.......I'm thinking I'd have a really big sewing room in this one!

Doesn't this just make you smile? It was soooo cute!

YUMMY!

Cobblestone and two different kinds of brick........so pretty, but they're pretty darn bumpy!

Gosh, I wonder how long ago this was planted! HUGE!!!

So crisp and clean......I loved the little trees on the porch and the black shutters........little Bellamere Cottage has black shutters too! :-)

This is my very favorite. It looks so dear, doesn't it? This little gal has it alllll! Well, except black shutters!

My daughter and I both love to drive around looking at homes.........I always wish I could go inside. What kinds of treasures to they have? How is it decorated? YEP....that's why I LOVE blogging..........I get to peek inside so many of your homes. It's so much fun to see all the darling little ideas you gals come up with. It's like a dream come true......without having to knock on doors and ask to peek!

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday.

Blessings and hugs,
Spencer
