MY HOME TOWN AT ITS FINEST...CHICAGO

Hi ladies...I'm back so soon!  I don't know how to pat myself on the back enough for this.  But this will be (hopefully) short as we are leaving for the lake bright and early.

We were downtown (Chicago) today.  The Husband had some medical procedures done at his hospital here and everything came out A~Ok.  So we spent some time wandering around the city. Please bear with me as I share some of the things I treasure about my city.   I have always loved the flower beds surrounded by classic wrought iron.   And these repeat up and down the streets in this area in unified succession. So pretty.  Renowned gardening and landscaping people have designed our sidewalks for years...they are works of art.

 

This is a sort of juxtaposition.  All I want to say is the CPD is the best.

And in the same vein...look at the diversity between two guys...in my interpretation not together.  Something that makes me think of how and where  and when we learn to bridge gaps of all kinds.  Just happened to see it in one of my photos.   Very much everyday life here.

Oh, and lots of lux.  The Husband splurged and bought me diamond earrings here,  Not!

Gino's East.  The BEST place for deep dish pizza!

Our waitress serving the first pieces.  After that you are on your own.  After one piece of deep dish pizza, you are pretty much bringing the rest home!

Need I say more?  Chicago pizza...truly the best!

Ah!  Switching gears.  My baby...Abby, went on a 5 day vacay to San Diego with her love, Tom.  Planned and scrimped over many months..several days into she got a kidney infection and spent the last few days flat on her back. She found a clinic and got antibiotic shots and prescriptions...she also followed up with her doctor here at home, but she's still in a lot of pain and flat on her back. 

And me?  I'm hanging out working in my garden beds whenever the sun breaks through these random thunderstorms we have been having over the past five days.  The rain is great for the grass and plants and flowers, but also for the weeds.  I've gone out between downpours and weeded a but...it's endless, I think.  I spend the rest of my waking hours with those summertime reads...I lay on my bed and pretend it's the beach!  And speaking of that...off we go bright and early!  The hard part is done and we will be getting ready for our 4th of July bash!  Just some fun in the sun with my (healthy) guy and that's all I need!  :)

Happy Weekend to all of you!

XO,

Jane
