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!
