LOL not quite TV land, but it is a very nice established neighborhood where we chat outside and keep up with each other’s goings on :) Need to have a block party next year for the newcomers :)

Yes, and for all the haters on FR, it is in Chicagoland ;) Well, actually one of the nice western suburbs :) But actually, I do hope to venture to downtown Chicago and look at the Macy’s (formerly great Marshall Field’s) store windows, and lights next week :) We have so much where I live, sometimes hard to find the need or time.

OK, gotta get off FR or I will never get this done...Getting my baking on now!

Yaelle, enjoy rest of your holidays! :)

Sorry to distract you with my response here, but I need to say that I have only spent 2 days in Chicago and I loved it. I wasn’t hanging out in the murder neighborhoods, just like I don’t hang out in east LA or Compton here. I do love big cities, even though they can make you feel small and insignificant sometimes. We rented an old three story house with walking distance to lots of places and the train. We could walk and get around so easily. The food, oh the delicious food. It was a great weekend.
