Sunday

Today Grandpa Willard & I took the train into Chicago... 

 

Our first stop was coffee (of course) at Intelligentsia

Then onto Michigan Avenue

 

Teavana (Imperial Aci Blueberry ice tea sweetened with German Rock Sugar)

Lunch at the Big Bowl

 

Our fortunes for the day (perfect)

 Apple Store

 Time flew by and soon it was time to head home

 ...but not without another cup of coffee.

Cold & Snow

Today it is cold, VERY cold. The kind of cold you step outside and the liquid in your nose freezes. The kind of cold that make your fingers numb. So this morning when I went to walk Marley, I put my wool socks over my other socks, I put snow pants over my other pants, and I put my coat with a hood over my sweat shirt with a hood, and yes gloves.

To Marley, it didn't matter how cold it was, it didn't matter that the snow came up to his belly, and up to my knees. He leaped through the snow, he ate the snow, he ran around the barn as I tumbled behind and waited for me to go around again...he was happy, he was satisfied and for
the moment I was happy and satisfied with the cold, the snow and for my walk with Marley.
