"Hard Times" Good Times

Last weekend, my friend DeEtte, came to town for a work trip and built in an extra day for some fun with the girls! I love time with DeEtte. We (DeEtte, Mel, Kari and I) lived together last year, and DeEtte has since been married and moved with her hubby back to the west. It's great to be able to still see her occasionally on her work trips!

We braved the snow that came in the late morning and went to lunch at Hard Times Cafe. The theme of our excursions was naturally, "We're having a hard time."

"Hard Times," is such a relative term, so it was humorous to play off of... Really the snow was SO slight compared to our December blizzard. It amounted to just a few inches- just enough to enjoy for its beauty and still get around with no troubles.

After lunch we chose to hit the Container Store- a place we had all secretly wanted to explore. It was awesome! My favorite part was realizing that a (granola/cereal) container I was considering for purchase was about 60% the cost at Target! I think it's a good place to get ideas and then purchase elsewhere.
