It was fabulous out on Friday. Warm, sunny…just beautiful, until the afternoon when it got cloudy and just started getting colder and colder. Yesterday sucked. Clouds, rain…blech. Today is totally sunny and 37 degrees. What the hell is wrong with spring in Chicago this year??? Am I asking for too much? Sunny and upper 60s [...]

I can’t believe I forgot to post about this. My friend Judithe was one of the East LA Latino muralists in the 70s. She’s a very, very talented artist and I am just always blown away by her work. She did an instillation at the Mexican Museum of Art in Chicago a few years ago [...]

Isn’t it nice to have them? They all fulfill a different niche in our lives and a few just really make us whole. I don’t know what brought this to mind but I’m just really treasuring the people in my life right now.
I guess a lot of it is because of the death of [...]

My friend Judithe and I went to Marilyn’s yesterday and started to go through all her craft things. We did all the jewelry making things yesterday. It seemed very weird at first, to be going through all of her stuff without her there. Even weirder was dividing it up between us. I loved finding things [...]

We had a quiet night last night. I do NOT like going out on New Year’s Eve in general and this year just didn’t seem like a celebration. We cooked, drank a little champagne and watched FoodTV. Life in the fast lane…that’s us. LOL I made a Belgium Beef Stew which seemed so perfect as [...]

Her husband, girls, sister, aunties, uncle, FIL, her Buddhist guide and I were at her bedside with her when she crossed. It was [...]

Finally I’m feeling better I think. I had lots of good company this week and that helped. My friend Mari came in on Tuesday and spent the afternoon with me. We never stop talking. LOL Lesa came on Wednesday. We pretty much don’t stop talking either. Then Jennifer came in yesterday and spent the afternoon. [...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ervaMPt4Ha0 I’m sure there’s a better way to put this on here but I don’t know what it is. This video is done by a 16 year old girl and is amazingly powerful.
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Even considering, I did. Don made the entire dinner and it was delicious! He made turkey, [...]

Boy I really wasn’t expecting this. I can barely walk I hurt so much. My left leg and hip are unreal. I called the doctor and they ordered some steroids for me. I can’t wait until they kick in. Poor Don is really having to put up with me. He’s such a good guy. I [...]

We had so much fun yesterday. We started at Blue Fire Beads about 1000 with Gwendolyn from Children’s Memorial Hospital there to tell us about Beads of Courage. I had to walk out pretty much as soon as she started. Someone else followed me pretty quickly and I think almost everyone had a few tears [...]
