Red Sky

Near our home.

Reminds me of the saying "Red sky at morning Sailor's take warning, red sky at night, Sailor's delight. "

Take me out to the Ball Game!

Well, Mel used his corporate tickets to the Cubs game to take Me, Alexandra and his Mom and Dad. It was Alexandra's first Cubs game! They won in the 13th inning! Our seats were so close we could get up and go touch the Cubs dugout! 4th row behind the dugout. Too bad it was such a hot day, but we were all troopers. Taking the time to get into the shade and get some icy stuff when we needed it. I paid plenty of attention to put sunscreen on the little girl, totally neglecting myself - so of course, my sunburn is still red and painful! We had a GREAT time - thanks Mel!

Chicago Botanical Gardens

Well, just to round out our May of going to the Arboretum and Horicon Marsh, we went to the Chicago Botanical Gardens. It is a great time of year to go and it was a beautiful day. The weather was absolutely perfect. My favorite part was actually the Green houses - the orchids were simply stunning.
