Breakfast in Chicago

The exibit hall was open from 630-830, then closed till noon. We
decided to go to breakfast. Found this place ok a side steet downtown.
All the food looks good - hope it will taste good too.

GTY Booth at Moody

The call time this morning was 6:30am, booth open, smiles on. John
will be speaking tonight.

Honking at Jay Leno

Driving back from Porto's we saw Jay Leno. I took this while stopped
at a light. When we drove past he honked and waved - I could not drive
the car and take another picture.

Cleaning a Cooper

Cooper got his feet dirty playing at the Flowers' house. Nothing a
bucket and some soap couldn't fix.

Bird Watching

On a lark we decided to go bird watching at Huntingon Gardens. The organized walk started at 8:00, so we had to leave our house at 6:15. Other than the early start, it was a great day. More pictures here.

Short trip coming to an end

Cooper is tired and ready to go home. We've spent the past 27 hours on
a short camping/boating vacation with the neighbors. We need to return
home for Mother's day and church. It's been a great time.

This is the life

Camping at the lake. Enjoying the restful sounds of water laping on
the shore.

Now we are six plus five

For his birthday Campbell wanted a sundae bar at Metella and grandpa's
house.

Morning at the Huntington

We took my mom and the boys to the Huntington for some early morning garden time. I had just been there a few days before to meet with someone to learn how to best display and protect a few old books. It's a great place to spend time.

We love going to the garden anytime, but there is something special about mornings in the garden.  More pictures from our visit here or if you prefer flash here.
