Friday morning drizzle…

It is drizzling here but I am hoping to be able to go to a couple of garage sales this morning.  It has rained all night long so they may have been rained out.  I haven’t been to one garage sale this season and I can’t wait!

Yesterday my daughter and I  went to Kohl’s and Costco in East Peoria.  Since the new Costco opened last year there have been numerous stores and restaurants opened there.

This building was built last year.  I think it is fascinating.  So beautiful. Notice the clock in the tower.  The clock is how the building got its name.  http://www.centralillinoisproud.com/story/clock-tower-place-opens-in-east-peoria/d/story/wOvYXl3BLkef1ycPdnqNEg

Have a great weekend!Stay safe and be happy!!

  2. Hope your garage sales didn't get rained off - lovely day here today in the UK (although a little breezy) but tomorrow (when we are due to go to a festival) the forecast is for rain al day - fingers crossed that changes!

  13. That town has really changed it appears. My daughter lived there for a short time after college around 2002 and worked for lawyers downtown. The building with the clock tower is lovely. Wish all towns would build in such a lovely way.

  15. My daughter and I shop in that area, too. We have tried out a couple of the restaurants and the food was good. Sadly, I can't remember the names. One was a sandwich shop we liked a lot. I love that building, too.

  19. I hope you got some bargains at the garage sale Beth, sometimes you can strike lucky, we don't get many garage sales here, as there are many charity shops, but we have Car boot sales most Sundays, but they start at 7.30m in the morning, a bit too early for me. I can't make a comment on the building as it's not something I could get excited about. LOL.
