What a great weekend! It went by way too fast, but there was a lot of fun and good food involved, so no complaints here. Backing up to Friday, I wanted to share the delicious result of a catch up lunch with my friend Becky. The two of us played on the golf team together in […]
Lunch
ConGRADulations, Eric!
Yesterday was an incredibly important milestone in my “little” brother’s life. Eric is now a proud high school graduate! If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that this is a big deal for both him and our family. The rules for special education vary by state, but in many cases special […]
Mountain Magic Mania
They knew what they were doing when they named it Mountain Magic. It was a golf tournament unlike any other! I had fond memories from last year, but being able to experience the fun, challenge and excitement all over again was a real treat. And it was extra special because this year…we came out of […]
Chicken + Peeta
I promise the Hunger Games post titles will stop after this one, but I couldn’t help myself (again). There isn’t even a pita in this post, technically, but this picture reminded me of one, and then I thought of my sister-in-law, Susan, who told me that “Peeta” always reminded her of “pita” as she was […]

Run + Refuel
It was another gorgeous day for a run in Chicago. The weather forecast shows some clouds and cooler temperatures rolling in later tonight, so I decided to push my training run up to make sure I could have one last outdoor adventure, at least for the time being. There was a definite “spring” in my […]
Slurping Turtle
I know you should never judge a book by its cover, and the same should be said for restaurants. That said, I’m guilty of both. So it came as no surprise that when the opportunity to try Slurping Turtle came my way, I couldn’t say no. The name, the logo…how could I resist? Slurping Turtle […]
Pingbacks
It’s hard to believe there are only two days and two photos left in #FebPhotoADay after this post. I’ve really enjoyed the challenge! Fat Mum Slim has recently announced a #MarchPhotoADay project in case you’re interested in joining up. Today’s photo was of something I ate, which makes it all the more appealing for this […]
