Happy New Year

Goodbye 2009.  Get your ass outta here!

Melting Lights

I was late to my hair appointment so I had to run down Armitage in front of this church.....and thought snapping at the same time would create some interesting images.

Have fun in Salina with Mom and Dad.  I miss you guys.

One of the two bronze lions that flank the Art Institute entrance.  These guys were given as a gift to the museum in 1893, and every year wear a wreath during the Holiday season.

Ellen

Year one without you was hard. Things happened where I longed for your smart ass remarks in surgery recovery and your mothering presence to your youngest baby. Things happened where I missed your friendship to me, as we sat in your kitchen with a glass of wine or our long conversations on the phone. I can't even begin to describe your absence from Eric's life, nor will I try. Things happened and will continue to without you, but I have a feeling you will be there. And we have your stories, memories, and pictures to cherish forever.

How You Doin?

OUR Charlie Brown Tree

Yep he's short.  And a chub-ster.  But cute in his own little way.

The Fall season needs to stick around longer.

Chicago Skyline

This is one of many pictures I took one EARLY morning after dropping Eric off at the airport.  I do love the dawn light, but I also love sleep.

Never Noticed

I've been down this particular stretch of fun neighborhood street a bajillion times, but never noticed this petite little sign that reminds me that Eric needs to get to Ireland.

Anyone have a guess where this is?
