Why We're Here

This isn't as profound as it sounds but maybe more so. We are in Evanston for graduations - Woody's, Caroline's, Noah's. Two high school and on middle school. Woody from Frances Parker and Caroline from New Trier. This is how we remember them ...grandpa and Woody as Nepalis, circa 1997.

They are beautiful children - almost grown and still growing. Caroline with go to Kenyon in the fall and Woody to Columbia to begin a theater major. It was special to be here - we are the absent aunt and uncle and grandma and grandpa. We worry about them becoming good, peaceful people. God bless us all.

Sun in the morning on Lake Michigan

Just a word about how serene and lovely it is beside the Lake this morning.  These are the flowers that I bought for our party on Sunday - the lawn service men have just arrived so the serenity is ended with the drone of the lawn mower.
We had an excellent visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art yesterday.  Arrived in mid-afternoon.  Saw a film by Smithson on Earthworks, a goofy exhibit of a screw that goes in and out of the wall, and an exhibit of the collection that was mind-expanding, funny, frustrating and lovely.  We were able to listen to the audio tour for various pieces by just calling a number on my cell phone.  We shared the ear buds and got a great tour.  Had a luxurious, cozy dinner at the RL dining room right off of Michigan Avenue. 

And here is the view outside of the front window this morning ...  Today we go on the River Tour of the city.  Praying the weather will hold.
