Chicago Days



I am in Chicago.

It has been a great week with Nicole and Chris. Andrew, college roommate, joined us for the weekend.

Friday evening will not be mentioned due to the amount of martini's consumed. Bar is across the block from the kids apartment and a pleasant stroll home.

Sat. was the Puerto Rican Day Parade in downtown. Probably not the most sane idea to go walk the waterfront but we did. Great weather and on a few extra miles. Lovely afternoon. Rode the Ferris Wheel on Navy Pier. Wonderful views and my height phobia only hummed in the background.

Sunday was chill in downtown Naperville. Love the river walk for a stretch after lunch at the Frank Sinatra Bar. Barefoot in the park. Horrific band playing somewhere close by. Sounded like cats coughing up hairballs.

The remainder of the week has consisted of hanging around the house. Tuesday I made Gumbo for my future son in law. Condition of invading their home. Tomorrow I am on the road again to the UP. Eleven more days till Bill arrives and I am counting down the days.

Till we meet again. Peace.
