I'm back!

We got back Wednesday night from visiting our youngest daughter in Chicago. We lucked out and had beautiful weather - much cooler than the stifling temps of Texas! We had fun seeing a show, going to the lakefront beach, taking an architecture boat cruise, eating out and walking miles and miles. I've been resting and doing lots of laundry since our return!

Heartbreak Hotel

I've also made some Halloween cards. It seems a bit early, but I'm in a group that sends cards quarterly to St. Jude's Children's Hospital and they have to be mailed in this month.  I rummaged through my Halloween paper and embellishment box and made these all from leftovers. I have many more but it feels good to put some of this stuff to good use!

Windy City

I've been offline for several days. I'm in Chicago for at least a week as my daughter had surgery on Monday. She's home now and I'll be "nursing" her for awhile. She's doing great and recuperating quickly.

This is the first time I've been up here in the winter - ooh is it cold! Yesterday was -25 to -30 degrees (yes, that's a minus) with the wind chill. And I was walking to the bus stop! You can't believe how people dress here - hats, gloves, scarves up over noses, boots, heavy coats. It's hard to move when you have that much on! It makes for a high degree of anoniminity when all you see is two eyes! But even then, it's cold!

I'll be home in Texas next Tuesday. If it warms up any, I will try to post some Chicago photos.
