You Can Take It With You

I lived in Southern California for 11 years. My dream was (is) to have a little cottage (apartment) by the beach. For 7 of the 11 years I was in California, I lived on the West Side, where the ocean air changes everything about your living situation.

When I moved back to Illinois, I wanted to bring some of that beach feeling home with me:

I want to take this one home. :)

Friendships Gained

Another wise quote from Elie Wiesel:

“Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.”
