four lovely women...

My four favorite women live around the country and every Monday they send me a snapshot from their little corner of this wonderful world. This is what's going on with them...

Seattle, WA. - my daughter.
"My friends bartending at Law Revue: The Law School Talent Show that I organized"


Sedona, AZ. - my mother.
"We woke to more snow here in the high desert yesterday."

 
Aliso Viejo, CA. - my friend.
  "View from the cottage we stayed in at Crystal Cove last week"

 
St. Augustine, FL. - my cousin.
"February by the sea"


This is the end of the first year of four lovely women posts - can hardly believe that.  I'm going to give the gals a break for this next year and we'll only be checking in with them once a month from now on.

The winner of the "I'm still cleaning out my craft closet" Vera Bradley purse giveaway is Koralee from Bluebird Notes - Congratulations!

Mmmm - law school talent show - sounds interesting. I think your daughter had the most fun but my vote goes to your cousin - looking forward to that weather. And congratulations to Koralee.

Happy Monday! It has been such doing the photos for the last year - can't even believe it has been a whole year!
What a cool idea you had there MJM!
Love that snow - so lovely to look at.
Great view from the cabin - looks like fun Pam.
Ahhh yes - February and at the beach soaking in the rays - that was good for the soul (for all involved!)
Have a lovely week everyone!

I do love this Monday post but will be looking forward to your new one.

One of the last places I went to before I had to move from Laguna was Crystal Cove.
I use to love walking the beach around there. My favorite part of The Pacific Coast Hwy was just up the road a bit where the pelicans fly the thermal so close to the road you could almost reach out and touch them.

Wonderful post today.

cheers, parsnip

Wow that's so awesome you could keep them motivated for an entire year!

Claire Kiefer said...

I was just recently eyeing the cottages on Crystal Cove and thinking about how wonderful they'd be to rent for a week! I visited some friends in Orange County a couple weeks ago, and we had lunch at The Beachcomber, which is right at Crystal Cove. It's so pretty & peaceful there!

Unknown said...

Such great stories they tell in one single photograph! So jealous of February by the sea!
