Saturday Roll Call
It is looking like we can get some rain later today. I hope I can get to Bloomington without driving in it.
Deb, I hope you enjoyed Great America last night. I don't we have been there in at least 20 years.
Today, I will be going to Bloomington for a Rainbow Installation. I decided on a dress with gold sandals. This summer, I am wearing long dresses more then ever. They are so nice and cool.
So, whats on your agenda today? I hope fun is included.
Have a safe day,
Huggers,
LISA
Happy Saturday everyone! I am pooped as we have been burning the candle at both ends by walking a lot. Let me recap for everyone:
Thursday I had a meeting at Barrington PD that I needed to attend for a work organization that I am the secretary for. We went to that and while I was at it Dave walked in downtown Barrington where he discovered a farmers market. I picked him up after the meeting and we walked the market, got some corn, cucks and fruit. Yesterday we decided to go to the Air and Water Show practice so we took the train downtown, ate bfast in Union Station, walked to Navy Pier (NP), watched for a couple of hours, shared a hot dog, walked through Olive Park (near NP) and then walked back to the station. We also walked to and from home to the train. We put on 7.30 miles on our tired "dogs" and legs. We were tired by the time we got to the station, shared some popcorn 
together and took the train home. We both enjoyed an ear of corn and crashed! We did wake up at about 2am and finally went to bed.
Here is your history lesson for the day. Olive Park near NP is a quiet peaceful park on the lake front. This black soldier from Viet Nam was awarded the Medal of Honor after his death. He smothered a live grenade with his body to save the lives of his fellow soldiers. Here is a link from Wikipedia about him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_L._Olive,_III Dave and I first heard about him at Willow during a service message by Bill Hybels.
Later gators!

I have some tom's & hot peppers to pick today and that is about it. I am designing a necklace so I might work on that also.

hello friends,
I am feeling good today so nice to be home and all I am walking and doing what I should and you know I even slept 3 hrs in my bed it felt so nice...I hope to make it 8 hrs in a month I hate sleeping in the chair I also don't like sneezing it hurts, well have a wonderful rain day everyone peace San
I have been catching up on my sleep the last few days. I have no idea why I am so tired. I came home from work yesterday and slept 3 hours, went to bed at the regular time and slept in this morning. I woke up once to a nasty thunder storm and it was one of those that are more enjoyable in bed so I rolled over and went back to sleep.
Just call me sleepy!Lisa, I hope you got to Bloomington before the heavens opened up. This afternoon has been clear so not sure when you were going. Have fun!
Chris, I hope you and Dave enjoyed yourself yesterday. I have always wanted to go to the air and water show but when I hear there are 2 million expected ... that is enough to keep this claustrophobic person home. That was a heck of a lot of walking!
Sandy, it is good to see you posting. You have had a rough go of it but you seem to be on the down hill side of recovery. It will get easier each day. I loved it when I could sleep in my own bed again. The others are right, a pillow is your friend and please dont overdo it. Baby yourself. You deserve it!
Everyone have a great day!
Cat Lady
