Travel Friday? ... College Tour!

Travel right now revolves around colleges.  That is okay.   Have you been to a college lately? I want a do-over!  I swear I would do it much differently today than I did thirty years ago.  Alot differently.  So, like every parent, I try to impress my children with how lucky and blessed and talented they are ... and to not take this for granted. I hope they listen to me better than I listened to my parents.

Callie and I toured Boston College ... in the rain ... this past Wednesday.

It was beautiful ... even in the rain.  I had no idea that BC was formed for Irish Immigrants that had no other way to be educated.  My family is Irish so this kind of hit a chord.

It is rumored that this building was designed with "The Wizard of Oz" in mind.

Witch Windows.

The Tin Man Lights.

I did not take Latin ... in either High School or College.  But supposedly these benches indicate that Toto... 

Is not in Kansas anymore!

Did I mention that it was raining ... and I had to pull out my boots again?

I am an SEC girl ... but I respect the BC Eagles.  Maybe it is because they play Auburn every few decades.  Like, 1939, 1940 and 1982.  Well, Auburn lost the first two, but won the 1982 Game.  So There. We are in the same League.

BC is better at Hockey.

Sort of ... did I mention it was raining?

Can you tell that Callie is interested?  These are her feet.  Those used to be my boots.  She took them.

These are the rumored "million dollar stairs" because BC had them heated so they wouldn't need to be shoveled in the snow.  They had to produce paperwork to prove that they didn't cost that much. Does the main population realize how much more these stairs would cost if they had to hire people to shovel them?  Then they would be the ga-zillion dollar stairs!  I barely get my back walk shoveled.

 The flowers were beautiful.

 Callie instagramed my feet in the rain.  I like her creativity!

Boston College is truly beautiful ... even in the rain.  A fun adventure ... a day with Callie.  I will stop complaining about the Rain.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Tuesday on the Cape ...

One of my sweet friends had to make a Tuesday run to the Cape to spiff her house up a little for guests coming this weekend.  "Want to come?"  ...  I was out the door!

We worked on her Cape House about three years ago ... bringing in color and serenity to this little slice of heaven at the beach.  The Duralee Indoor/Outdoor Pavillion Fabric added some punch and still looks fresh and happy!

When we worked on her house I wasn't blogging so didn't have any photos.  This quick Tuesday trip was the perfect excuse to snap a photo or two.  

This is what rocks my world ... creating real spaces, no matter the size, to make family times even more special. 

And what better place than by the sea ... something about crossing that bridge to the Cape.  We both took a big sigh and smiled.  Time stood still for a few hours this week and it was wonderful!

Back to reality on Wednesday ... in the rain ... I had to pull my boots back out.  I swore I wasn't going to do that again until October.  But I did.
