We went to Bear Slide. It is only about 7 minutes away from our house in the town of Cicero.
Ahhhhhh sunlight, how we've missed you!!! xo
The morning started out just lovely. The skies were blue, the sun was shining.....but we had one, small problem-
The WIND!!!!! It was soooooooooooo cold when the wind decided to blow!!! Check out these goose-bumps!!! I had to make a trip to the car to put on my jeans once we were ready to hit the back 9. 
Once I had my jeans on, I was warm again and able to enjoy the surroundings.
I love golf courses. I wish we lived on one. Maybe one day...
This was Ryan's first time out in 2010. He shot an 88. Not too shabby...
Aren't these plants weird looking? I totally thought they were birds at first glance. Strange, huh?
As the day progressed, the weather got crappier and my dreams of a sunshiny day came to an end....BOOOOOO!!!
Oh well, at least it was still pretty to look at...
Hi Ryan!
Coming up on the tee box...
We had a great day. I love Ryan so much. I am glad he took me along for the ride. I REALLY want to learn to golf so we can play together!!!
On the home-front, we went to Michael's for some arts and craft ideas for the wine corks I have been collecting since we moved here. Some of my faithful, wine-o neighbors have contributed to my collection-Thanks, girls!!! The first thing we bought was this GIANT wine glass to hold all future corks..

Some of my faithful, wine-o neighbors have contributed to my collection-Thanks, girls!!! The first thing we bought was this GIANT wine glass to hold all future corks.. Then we debated about making a wreath, trivet or coasters...We ended up buying a shadow box and creating our own cork artwork. Here is Ryan sorting corks and pondering a cool design..
Here is the finished product... TA-DAH!!! 
We were originally going to hang it up somewhere, but decided we liked it better on the counter, so this is where it will reside (at least for now). Our new artwork has inspired us to not only continue collecting corks, but also bottle tops. We think we may be able to incorporate them into the bar we will be building in the loft this summer
Do you always end up buying stuff you did not set out to purchase??? Us too!!!! Welllllll....at Michael's, we came across this wine painting and it went so well with our giant wine glass and cork display....Soooooo, we bought it. I know, self control is not a strong point of ours.

It does however go real well with our decor and fills up that empty space on our wall quite nicely... Too bad our wine rack is not filled. I wonder where all the bottles went, hmmmmm???It looks kind of pathetic, huh???
On Sunday, we decided to explore our town a little more. We drove out to the "square" in Historic Downtown Noblesville to have a late breakfast.
We love this area. It is full of mom and pop shops and restaurants. Some of the buildings are from the 1800's!
We ended up trying out the Uptown Cafe. It was FANTASTIC!!! It was small, but had a BIG personality! It was decorated shabby-chic and had a grill right behind the counter with a short order cook busily frying away!
Check out Ryan's breakfast- A Mega-Miller Sandwich (buttermilk biscuit, hash browns, cheese, tomato, spinach, bacon and jalapeno jelly)! It was to die for!!!! I had peanut butter-chip pancakes that were delish as well. I think we found our "regular breakfast hangout" for Sunday Funday!!!
After we filled our bellies with that delicious, fatty, high-caloric goodness, we went for a walk around the old courthouse. Check out these bricks set in the sidewalk. Aren't they neat looking?
I LOVE our courthouse. The architecture is so interesting. It reminds me of the movie, Back to the Future.
There is a small monument right outside the courthouse that pays homage to fallen war heroes from Hamilton County. Here is Ryan paying his respects. 
Next time you hear from us, we will be on Spring Break!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! Then on April 17th, we will have two teachers from Mexico that we will host at our home for 2 weeks. This is a program through Ryan's high school. I am soooo excited to practice my Espanol!!!
Until next time...xo
