We had a couple visit our church on Sunday and as we were all standing around after church talking I asked where they were from....and they said "Chicago!" They were visiting here for the warm weather. It was 75 on Sunday. I told them about Emma and JustEmbrace and that she is now a graduate student at DePaul. They were so impressed. "DePaul is an excellent University!" the husband said. Small world...and I am so thankful we all stopped to visit after church. Those lights could maybe be the insides of minnow buckets used around here to hold bait for fishing. Really cool looking! You show us the best items...and do it artistically, too.

I can tell she is a very smart girl who loves books and knowledge. <br /><br />Sometimes when I have big shoot coming I dream beforehand that I leave my card at home. I dream I take pictures of the whole day and then I discover there is no card. <br /><br />I thought the first lady's red ball gown was beautiful. I came to get your scoop since you are my authority on beautiful ball gowns! I would like you buy you a beautiful ball gown one day. The most beautiful ball gown I could find. <br /><br />Happy Tuesday. I had to pick Kaish up early from school. He told me this morning he was sick. I had a couple of big cases coming to court this morning, so I told him he would be fine. Sure enough, as soon as I got to Philly, I got a call from the nurse. Poor munchkin.
