Hello sweet blog friends.
I am putting the new bathroom together to show you hopefully this weekend. I am happy how it is coming together.
In the meantime, I wanted to share with you a cute vacation rental that Terry and I will be staying at in a few weeks.
We planned an escape from life weekend in May. So need this!!!!!
You know that I love the area and small towns along Lake Michigan in Michigan.
It is only a 2 to 2.5 hour drive for us from Chicago.

This is the entry to this sweet cottage. Hopefully in the middle of May when we visit some of this will be in bloom. |

This is a cute shop inside the old Fire Station in a neighboring town. With Terry being a fire chief I thought this might be a fun place to visit. |

Lots of the restaurants are right on the Lake. I cannot wait to have our escape weekend in May. It really does refresh your soul to have fun little trips like this.
Have a great rest of the week. I hope to have the bathroom re do for you this weekend. Hugs, Kris |
