New Years, Art Institute, Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation
Happy New Year to everyone. Tom left on December 30, so our New Year was just the three of us. It was still very fun to welcome 2025. Next year, I hope to get to Pasadena, California to watch the Rose Bowl Parade in person. As usual, we watched the ball drop in New YorkContinue reading “New Years, Art Institute, Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation”
Christmas, Candlelight Concert
Merry Christmas to everyone once again. I got back to Western Springs on Thursday and had appointments with my psychiatrist and physician on Friday. Tom arrived late on Sunday night, and we had our kick-off the Christmas season dinner on Monday. It was almost a repeat of Thanksgiving, although we had ham instead of turkey,Continue reading “Christmas, Candlelight Concert”
Back to School Season
Another year is about to begin and I am very excited to move into my first apartment. We had thought about doing an overnight in Chicago, but the weather was really hot this weekend. Even though we didn’t manage to get to this, we went to lunch at Shanghai Terrace, which is a fancy restaurantContinue reading “Back to School Season”
Chicago River Picnic, Mini Golf
Another busy week in the family. On Wednesday, Dad took the train downtown because we met up with him to go on a boat ride picnic along the Chicago River. It was a private and self-driven boat so there was no staff member present. I even drove the boat for a little bit. Some ofContinue reading “Chicago River Picnic, Mini Golf”

Magnificent Mile, Olympito
Two exciting updates for this week. As part of my Western World Geography course, we took a trip to the Magnificent Mile so I could take pictures for my In-Photo article 2.

Stats Finished
I have just finished my Statistics course and feel quite proud of myself for doing so. So, I am down to just two classes and feel confident in passing everything. We also fixed Mom and Dad’s shower, which is amazing. After a series of delays, the plumber was able to come last Thursday to fixContinue reading “Stats Finished”
Repairs
There have been a lot of repairs going on in the house. Earlier this summer, the hot water heater was not working and now the fridge is not working. We are getting a brand new fridge on Saturday and this will be exciting to us. The primary shower is currently out of order and itContinue reading “Repairs”
