We take the South Shore train out of Chesterton so we don't have to hustle with traffic and parking. Costs $7.50 per person and kids travel for free and it gets you downtown in about an hour. <br /><br />Oh and be forewarned American Girl has its headquarters downtown Chicago and it is a cult! Thank goodness Nike town and virgin records is across the street! Glad the girls had a wonderful time! <br /><br />And the fire place looks grand!<br />Pastor Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063075847474862992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283131.post-56956253343990403492014-12-15T14:28:16.756-05:002014-12-15T14:28:16.756-05:00AND... I actually have more to say about this. Fir...AND... I actually have more to say about this. First of all, I was thinking of mowing my lawn to get the leaves too, and now I think I probably will.<br /><br />BUT... what I was really meaning to say was, your daughter shares your intensity. Every pore "feels". Which makes her a REALLY good Mother although pummeling self-doubt will always, always keep that title just out of reach of her ever-escalating standard. Which sounds eerily familiar to me.<br /><br />BUT! Still not my point, I'm totally setting it up... and I'm getting there. To that end, from my third-person post modern... deco... original. baroque-ass asparagus viewpoint I am beginning to think it's not a coincidence that this person who knows you both the best shows up when either of you are tight as piano wire with something to remove you from the environment and reboot you.<br /><br />AND... as great as it would be to see this work in a larger model, say, a church, the universe seems to be resistant to good people trying to make other people good. Rather that each soul resolves one way or another of it's own volition given it's particular path of trials and opportunities.<br /><br />...wut?<br /><br />Cliff's Notes: Go Jane!MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03543269000083131799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283131.post-17845733875671201042014-12-15T11:15:59.800-05:002014-12-15T11:15:59.800-05:00I bet when Anna is older and Carrie asks her "...I bet when Anna is older and Carrie asks her "do you remember that time Grandma Jane took us to Chicago?"
