PJ and I moved into our new house yesterday. We had our first night -- yes trains do run all night. The trains don't bother PJ but dogs walking by is a reason to bark and cry! My new table and TVs arrived today. Hoping to get cable, phone and Internet next week. One more week of vacation and then I have to get back to work.

First Confirmed Family Case of H1N1

Claire has the swine flu! I would post a picture but you all know what she looks like so picture her with a red nose and teary eyes. She will be out of school this week. She has not had much fever yet but a lot of upper respiratory symptoms. Her friend Sarah goes to the doctor tomorrow and if she has it they are going to spend the week together, watching movies and working on school work. Pray the rest of us don't get it.

Sunday in Chicago

Bridget & I started the day in Chicago with Mass at Holy Name Cathedral. A 134 year old church that caught fire last February and was just reopened last month. After Mass we spent the afternoon at The Art Institute of Chicago. We finished up the afternoon with a beer in Millennium park. (http://www.millenniumpark.org/artandarchitecture/)

Hello from NYC! Last two days have been very rainy. Bought a new coat from Norma Kamali. Today is beautiful. Going to Governor's Island with Jeanne in a little bit. Leaving for my 4 day road trip to VA and DC tomorrow morning and then back to NYC for the weekend.

Sandra if you are going to be in NYC next weekend call to see if we can get together.

PJ got a haircut -- actually PJ was shaved in many spots. Need to take her to the groomer every month so she will not get so matted.

Saturday in Chicago

John and I spent the day sightseeing in Chicago. The Celtic Fest was fun. We saw the sheep herding demo and got closer to our "Irish Side". Laura told us to visit Millennium Park, we enjoyed the flowers and architecture. For dinner we met up with Terri and Don, they just moved from Austin to Chicago. We had a tasty Italian meal.

I don't have any pictures, but I wanted to report that John's soccer team lost by a goal (their best player only showed up at half and the team was down by six goals), and that Katherine's tied. Both played well but could still be a bit more aggressive (i.e. more like their old man).

Happy Birthday Aunt Sandra!

Blueberry upside down cake

Hi All,

Tonight we tried a recipe for cake on the grill! It was a Rachel Ray summer recipe. It is made in a cast iron skillet and cooks on the grill so we made it after we grilled dinner. The cake was much like corn bread and can also be made with cherries. It was a success and seemed like a recipe someones "forefathers" may have cooked on a trail ride out west.Hope all had a nice Labor Day Weekend!

Hey Everyone!

This is my side of the dorm room. The bedspread is new and I put up album covers. I am glad to be back at school, but already busy. I don't miss the Texas heat. I think the semester will be fun. My roommates are awesome!
