I like our laundromat a lot.....the owners are nice and helpful and I always get enough washers and dryers and am usually in and out within an hour.

I am so glad you posted this.....it has brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing this beautiful news and the photo..... Much love to you and your family!!

Graham and i went to the one of many forest preserves areas today and walked a few miles......this place also had a late 19th C working farm......it was so awesome! We saw cute sheep, horses, cows a beautiful farmhouse and lovely gardens!!! The weather here is divine.....tomorrow I am hoping we will go to the little petting zoo nearby. This is one of the biggest perks of not being in the city anymore....we are just minutes from all these wonderful trails, parks, open spaces, etc etc

Happy Birthday Jen!! I hope you have a great day!!!

I got this party kit for you...... Please come and visit soon!! The midwest needs you!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
