I received the traditional ‘Karen Roses’ for Mother’s Day.
My wedding roses…
Love them.
a picnic in Stockholm Wisconsin
gazing out at Lake Pepin…
Gracie played on the old merry-go-round
the quaint little downtown with all it’s shops
Sicilian olive oil and rosewater at The Palate
and for dessert…
the piece de resistance…
Palmer House Ice Cream
from
The Stockholm Pie Company!
The BEST ice cream on the planet!
mmmmmmmmm!!!
creamy vanilla ice cream
with crunchy almonds
and tangy, chewy maraschino cherries.
Jeff had a piece of the apple crisp
and said it was very good.
Last stop…
in
Maiden Rock Wisconsin.
One of my favorite guilty pleasures are these
Buttery
chewy on the inside
slightly crispy on the outside
candied ginger & lavender sugar cookies.
Oh MY!
Jeff and I enjoyed them on the back porch
with a glass on Pinot Grigio…
How did you celebrate Mother’s Day?
