Trip to Chicago


Roger and I had a little diversion with a trip to Illinois for a open house for Lauren and Joe. Joe's family lives in Sycamore, Illinois. We live in the most beautiful and diverse country in the world. It makes me proud to be an American!


Just to make all of my St. George friends really envious, notice how green everything is in Illinois, and they do not have any sprinkler systems. I was green with envy!

Here is a great idea for a modified chicken coop. Joe's family had this in their backyard. In the upper portion of the chicken coop is the penthouse for the chickens to lay their eggs. I think I will try to make one next spring and have fresh eggs!



Some of the original early 1900's homes in Sycamore Illinois. I would love to live in one on these old homes. They have so much personality.


Yes, this is a "bigger than life" size Marilyn Monroe on Michigan Street (where all the big stores are) in downtown Chicago.

This is a shot of the symphony, community Choir, and Opera in action in Centennial Park, downtown Chicago. The City of Chicago offers these free concerts in the park during the summmer. On this night they were performing Vivaldi's Requiem. It was incredible. The people in the audience bring their chairs, picnic dinners and enjoy the evening of entertainment.
