End of Summer and News

Hi
Updates from Chicago area today: Kathe and I were lucky enough to see the Tall Ships along Navy Pier..we will post photos today. Mike has shared with the family Nancy's health challenges and we will know more as the days progress. In spite of him, I told him we would hold her in our prayers for good results! I will not post updates on the blog but rather share what he wishes me to or I am sure he will email us as well. Fred and Beth and 4 grandchildren are visiting Chicago during the day Tue and I hope to talk him into some burgers that evening at my Schlog Restaurant. I am looking forward to seeing how their day went. Jo said Bob has his health issues with his knee and some memory loss so we expect to hear more about him as we go along as well. Roseanne leaves to see her Evey this weekend and Pat and MJ and I plan to spend some quality time together as they had into their busy school schedules. Julie knows that so far Pat and MJ and their families plan to hit Iowa to visit Clinton on Sept 25 and Roseanne and I are going to trip over as well and join all at Manny's. We also look forward to seeing Mary and Ed and Tom and Jan for sure and hopefully ALL our siblings (health issues yet) on Columbus Day Weekend in October. Julie will be driving in for that event.
After a gorgeous week, the day is sweltering here in Chitown..Air on today...Just skyped with Mike and await Tuesday surgery results with Nancy.
Gonna try to call Pat back now. I am well and strong. Trying to return to one full day a week starting this fall (at work). Shall see how that goes. Have a great Labor Day you guys! LOve from ChiTOwn...Maggie P
