Brrrrrr

We're back to Chicago and 3 inches of snow on the VW Beatle, at least both vehicles started up.

Dashboard says 12 degrees, a far cry from Long Beach this AM, and I suppose about what it will be in GB on Friday. Now I know how T-Net feels. Check out America Through a Windshield to read her story.

We're staying at the Extended Stay hotel in Rolling Meadows, a bit of a disappointment. Dirty dishes, one spoon and left over stuff from the previous guests. Pillows are as thin as pancakes.

We think we've planned stuff out pretty good, but you never know. We have two Home Depot storage boxes full of foodstuffs we think we'll use regularly. We'll see if we use it or cop out and go out to eat. But at least I picked up fruit and milk for cereal and tea and coffee.

Brought in Teresa's sewing machine, as you know she uses it regularly.

Let's see... I think we'll have sausage and Zatarains tomorrow for dinner. Stay tuned.

Mom made it back to Idaho fine, little tired but no worse for the wear.
