Some Pictures From The Last Week And A Half

We were without our camera for a week and a
half or so.

M and MJ.

Two Days In Chicago

Em and M traveled to Chicago on Thursday
morning, via Amtrak.

M was obviously quite excited by the

whole idea of rail transport. He sure has

a nice back pack, doesn't he?

The reason for the trip was to visit Aunty Rose.

Here Rose is introducing M to Chef Luciano.

Rose has been friends with the Chef for many years.

He was very kind to M, and showed him around

his kitchen.

M enjoyed a dance date with new friends.

On Friday, Grandma R met up with the Lopezs,

had a nice meal at Feed, and enjoyed some

sight seeing.

Here, young M is walking on some fake snow, that

is decorating part of the set of a movie, currently

being filmed in the Humboldt Park neighborhood

of Chicago; which is also the films name.

ACTION!

Of coarse you recognize mister Luis Guzmán,

probably one of Hollywood's hardest working

actors, he is wearing the tall gray hat.

Debra Messing met M and later missed her son

so much, that she had a "melt down" on the set

according to one of the staff. She should have

gotten together with M after the melt down,

he would have been able to make her smile, he

gets very concerned when someone he cares

about is sad or down.

M stopped in for a coffee and insisted on siting

with this nice young lady.

Too bad no one had any fun,,,,,,,

Misc. Pictures

This is Inlagd Gurka, pickled cuc's. I like adding
lots of fresh dill, whole allspice and dried juniper berries.

A Blue Bear Visits!

Friday Afternoon At The L's

I got to spend some time yesterday afternoon with Em, M and L.

Em was watching L for a while. L gets kind of hypnotized by

the lights on the camera, evidenced by the stare she's got

on her face in many photos.

Here is that stare again.

Listening to a little Backyardigan's music.

L waking?

In the process of waking.

Helping Grandpa with blog update.
