Met up with the gang for a reunion weekend. Had a great time catching up with everyone. Also went to a local glass blowing shop, the firemen’s festival in the nearest town and hiked through some beautiful woodland with cliffs and caves.
Expat mom leaves Japan after nearly 4 yrs. to begin a new adventure living in New Jersey, then moves to NYC 7 yrs later. But then moves to Chicago.

1st Amendment in jeopardy
Dang it! Looks like I’m going to have to give up my shows on Hulu, Disney and ABC!
I really like some of them too, especially High Potential and Only Murders in the Building. Thanks Trump!! 🤬

Scenes from the Weekend
We had a big weekend and the weather was perfect. We went to a lecture on Gustave Caillebotte, saw a play, went to a yoga and candle making workshop, took a long walk beside the lake, ate some good food and enjoyed some live music.

Calling It Done
I’m calling it quits on the restoration of this old quilt. I hadn’t plan for it to turn out this way, but just let the art take its own route. All the hexagons are made from scrap fabrics that I’ve had in the closet. I tried to stick with blues and white, but had to branch out as I ran out of fabrics.

No Trump No Troops
No Trump/ No Troops that’s our current battle cry in Chicago. It seems TACO has realized that we won’t stand for any of that nonsense here and has backed off his plan to waste tax payer dollars by sending troops to our beautiful city.
