*it has come to my attention that Foxfire is the browser of choice for viewing my video, otherwise you’re not missing terribly much.

An entire month has passed since I have provided information that was not reliant on stock images from my flickr account, mais non! Mais oui, c’est vrai. And with what have I been so engaged as to let my snaggletooth fall by the way? Travel of course.

Part one of this series will focus on my Chicago sightseeing extravaganza with Jeff and Cara, most of which happened while driving down Ashland.

Attempting to back into a tiny spot while being filmed by Troy.

Troy and I gazing with wonderment into the mystery that is Cloud Gate. Yes, we did see our futures.

Stay tuned for part two, my journey into a foreign land, a land rife with Battens and high altitudes. Idaho.

…my Brooke Shields original fabric?

Well it’s going to be even longer.  First it was Springfield, Illinois for my family, then Stanley, Idaho for Luke’s family, now it is Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin for boating.  It’s a hard life.  I promise.

…my mini Abe Lincoln embroidery?

There is no real content because I spent the weekend at my family reunion in Springfield, IL. I really have no photos because I was busy busy and as proof I have a swolen wrist dotted with broken blood vessels, a small bruise beneath my lower left eye, and a pulled muscle. Beemans are not very good with hand eye coordination.
