A day in the life of a very spoiled dog...

I know that I have not been on the blog a lot, and I apologize for that. Not only have I been a very bad blogger, I have been very sick. After I finally finished with a sinus infection, I got the flu. Once I thought I was out of the clear on that, I... Read more »

I got to spend my afternoon with local Boy Scouts making cobbler for the residents of Plum Creek Supportive Living in Rolling Meadows. The Scouts made six varieties of cobbler for the residents.

Beautiful Snowy-Fog this morning!

This morning I awoke to something I had never seen before. It was foggy, but the fog was snow. It was so beautiful. The snowy-fog left a light coating of snow on the trees, cars, and anything else outside. It was so beautiful, that after I read my morning papers, I grabbed the camera and headed out... Read more »
