May 17th was our 32nd anniversary. Where has the time gone? We went out to eat at Les Bourgeois-Blufftop Bistro in Rocheport, Missouri with my brother and his wife. The restaurant has a beautiful view over the Missouri River. It was also Mother's Day weekend and University of Missouri's graduation, so the place was hopping!
This is one of our early dating pictures. We haven't changed much - right? Ha Ha! Those were the days.

Sunroom
Our sunroom is finished and these pictures show the progress. I am still looking for an area rug and a coffee table to complete the room. My husband drew up the plans for this room and completed the project by himself with a couple of friends/family helping a few times. We love, love, love this room.

Pillow with White Buttons
This is my most recent craft project. I made this for a friend's birthday.
I've made these for a few special friends and one for myself.
I need to check out Pinterest for some new ideas. It is always fun
to make gifts for friends and family.
