HI,
I am done with my class and am off for a bit to do some family things.
Check back soon when we will be on a countdown to the start of a new school year.

This week will be the first true week of Summer!

My plants need the heat and after class all this week, I will get out in the sun to weed my garden.

What are you doing?

I enjoy going downtown to Chicago. This is one view of my latest trip to Chicago.

This is how I like to spend my summer time!
