Felice Cumpleaños

Daddy Bub would be 95 on his birthday today. At 93 and 9 months, he was too young to leave us, but we know that he knows that today we are celebrating the wonderful times we had with him. Anyone who met him would not be able to forget him…….I think it just might be

Wicker Park & Bucktown

Last week  was spent vicariously enjoying a great time  had by Chicago’s Golden Boy.  Christopher  moved from what I considered an amazing place on N. Michigan Ave. to an even more energetic  location for the 20 something crowd. Bucktown is already  sounding like a faster paced totally fun place to live. I’m just glad it’s

America’s Next Top Model

  In this economy it is not enough to just have a beautiful face and figure. You have to be able to multitask…..for instance, Miss Piggy has been forced into plowing the back forty in order to feed the less endowed creatures that happen to dwell here. She  has had numerous requests for her modeling

What The World Needs Now

We need so much, we lack so much as a country,  as a world. We need more  good people. How many have you met even once who did not manage to leave you with the impression that they are full of themselves and how about those that you have known even casually for many years?

Eighty Nine and Still Lookin’ Fine!

It seems like yesterday that she danced down the hall of her house on Sir Philip singing “This Lady’s eighty three but she can still boogie!” We celebrated the birthday at Mi Tierra’s with family and friends who are dear to our hearts. Next year who knows where and what we will do. I vote

The Class Of ’69

 High school reunions are so interesting. It’s fun when it’s not your class and you don’t need to pretend that you remember anything about anybody. Not exactly like a family reunion but it’s all relative just the same.  I was sitting at the check in table so that Henry could take a break and two

Leave It To BV

How would YOU feel if you were a girl who wanted to be a boy…..No not like that, OK delete that (and I probably will) I’m just saying that how would you feel if you had a brother that did everything better than you. They were always smarter, excelled at all sports, except football and

Oh Brother!

I remember how I could not wait for him to be born! That is my earliest memory, nothing important happened before that.  Then finally  the first, the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me in my young life was when he was born….. I have been told that I was a big help since
