Downtown Morris, IL

Last Saturday I had such a pleasant time

getting to know one 

of my childhood friends again,

 Jill.

We shopped the Three French Hens Market

and decided to have lunch

at one of the newest places downtown

~ Letty Mae's Tea Room & Fancy Junk ~

Well, you know what happens when you have a new place

open up,

AND the Three French Hens Market

at the same time.

You guessed it -

It is packed!

We were famished,

and didn't stay for lunch

but not before I snapped a few pictures.

Isn't it the cutest place?

I hear they have fabulous lunches,

so the next time you are in Morris,

check it out.

AND if it is packed,

do what we did.

Mosey on down a few more blocks 

to

Ebbey George's Bar & Grill

Seating available immediately

and a great Pizza Burger & Fries.

We visited a couple more shops 

1.  The Thoughtful Spot

~ thanks for the potty break ~

of course it helps 

that Jill works for the owners

in the same building,

and 2.  Ruby Begonia'S

Here is one of the dressing rooms

Unfortunately the storm clouds rolled in

and we made a quick get away.

Definitely want to check out

Whimsy

and 

The Front Porch

during my next visit.

Morris is one of the few towns

that STILL has a downtown ~

and they seem to be thriving.

A very quaint town

that Jill calls Mayberry.

It was a fun time and I can't wait to go back.

AND since I'm a farm girl, 

I couldn't resist snapping a few pics 

on my way back home that day.

It must have been tractor day

in Rock Falls, IL

Be still my heart.
