Small town America and a big blunder!

Remember a few days ago we had no power? What better thing to do than to roam around

Hillsdale, Michigan once again and take pictures

so that is exactly what I did!

Isn't this flower shop gorgeous!!

The downtown streets of Hillsdale are lined with these

lights and the garden club donates beautiful hanging

baskets every year.

This is Jilly Beans coffee house. It used to be

called "the gathering". I didn't even know

it had changed hands.

My hubby is in love with this shop. They just did a huge makoever...inside and out

and it is gorgeous! He just bought steaks,

tri-tip and ground chuck last week. The steaks are

huge!! He got two that I know are the size of

dinner plates and very thick. He is in *heaven*.lol.

The courthouse spire...

I love the detail...

It's beauty just takes my breath away.

This is a very beautiful upscale home decor store. I couldn't get the front of the glass because of

too many vehicles sitting along the street.

A shot of one of Hillsdale streets...if I had to live

in town...I would give this a good look.

It is a beautiful small town!

Speaking of Hillsdale...we went to a car show there

today with my youngest son and his family. However, before we got there we had pulled into a

gas station (following our son). When I went

to pull out ,the nose of my car was a

little too far out into the road and cars were

still coming. I put the car in reverse to back up a little,

but the man in the truck behind me would not budge.

SO...guess what happened???

I forgot that I had the car in reverse and when there

was finally an opening and hubby said, MASH IT ... I did!!

Right into the truck behind me!

Oh dear...not a good thing to do!! Long story short,

the man was not nice , but there was no damage so

all is well that ends well!!

Happy weekend!!

Blessings~
