Topic: July, 2008
I have returned from Chicago where I visited family and went to the ASG Conference (more on that in a later post). I had a wonderful time! It was so nice to visit with family that I haven't seen for at least 12 years and up where they live, in No. Illinois was beautiful! The flowers that I struggle to grow in my backyard are wild and plentiful in their huge yard! The fireflies at night are magical, but the mosquitos were hungry.
I took the train downtown a few times and wandered around. Took a water taxi to Navy Pier and had a hot dog. The skyline is so diverse and enormous compared to our downtown Los Angeles. I can't wait to go back and explore some more.
My family there was so warm and gracious and made me feel right at home. I will definitely be going back for future visits.
I visited Vogue Fabrics in Evanston and bought some nice linens, bamboo knits, and a slicker fabric for a rain jacket.
Oh, and did I mention I ate way too much, but enjoyed every bite!
Fanny Mae, Morke's, White Castle burgers, hot dogs, pizza, dumplings and sourkraut! Ah, it was calorie overload heaven.
