...went to Michigan what seems like 20 times (but in reality was only three)
Fall comes to the Au Sable River
Lake Michigan through beach grass...attended my class reunion with a bunch of other middle-aged folks
A small group of us on a tour of the old school...at what point exactly did we all morph into our parents?...had a birthday
...had lunch with Jacquie and gave her a walking tour of one of my favorite Chicago neighborhoods
A funky little window in Old Town...survived a major sandstorm at the beach (40-50mph for 24 hours, yikes!)
...spent the next day waiting for three bulldozers and a Bobcat to clear the road of three-foot sand drifts so I could get my car out
...watched my friend Devon and about 37,000 other brave and crazy people run through my neighborhood in 33-degree temps for the Chicago Marathon
When did George Washington develop a running habit?
You can never have too much Gatorade
Three hours later, they're still coming
Talk about brave...this guy got some really big cheers...discovered yet another quilt shop taking the back roads home to Chicago
Happy Birthday to me!...found some "Summer in the City" fabric in aforementioned quilt shop that will allow me to finish a three-year old (or is it four?) UFO
...have come to terms with the fact that Indian Summer may have just passed us by this year
...finally got my Jelly Pops top quilted and have started binding it, which could take a while, knowing me
But not necessarily in that order.
It's good to be back. I promise I won't leave you for so long ever again!

I love your header picture. I think it is new isn't it?
The window is great. I can see that I miss a lot of wonderful things by not leaving home very often.
A late happy birthday wish to you! I have to tell you how much I love your new header photo - gorgeous quilt!!!
; )
Glad you're back - we've missed you! Sounds like you've lots of fun & adventures. Your Jelly Pops quilt looks yummy. Love your new header - Archie's feet are so cute! And yes, had to laugh at your "morphing into our parents" comment!! (scary and true)
Welcome back - sounds as though you had an enjoyable summer and now that the weather is getting colder is a perfect time to get back into quilting.
were you the hottest hottie at your reunion. of course you were. can't wait to hear more about it -- sushi. at some point in our near futures.
nice to catch up with you again. i don't envy you in that sandstorm!
