Happy Saturday! Today is extra happy for many reasons. When I learned that today’s #FebPhotoADay was “makes you happy,” I knew my picture would involve my plans for the afternoon.

Thanksgiving?
I was on the phone with my mom earlier today. When she asked what my plans were for the evening, I told her that Bobby and I were heading to Wildfire for Thanksgiving. “Thanksgiving?” “Er…no.

The Great Chicago Fire
