Looking up

To get ready for the construction that starts Monday, we spent the last five days moving EVERYTHING off our main floor. We finished Sunday.

Exhausted, Terri and I laid on our backs in the living room, looking up.

Red walls, white ceiling and amber glow from the kitchen lights. The dark triangle is the partition wall and the dark circle is from the wide angle lens. It doesn't seem like it, but this photo is real.

LSD

After meeting friends for dinner at Viaggio in Chicago's West Loop Friday night, we drove around to get some city pics.

This is looking northwest while going north on LSD-- Lake Shore Drive. The Willis Tower is just left of center. Somehow, my outside mirror appears three times. The "LSD" headline seemed appropriate for this particular Dali-like shot.

Rice Krispie treats

Not the same as homemade, but the store-bought Rice Krispie treats will do in a pinch.

NOTE: Off brand imitations are NOT acceptable. Just sayin'.

Muck-buck

Some say I wasted a dollar. I prefer to think of it as purchasing immortality at a really good price.

Hey ref!

"The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game." --Bill Shankly

The irony here is that Bill Shankly is a famous British football (soccer) player and manager. The stripes, however, indicate an American football referee's shirt.

Things I won't miss, part 2

The thing about our first floor remodel that Terri is most excited about is the new cabinets-- specifically, the window seat. I am most looking forward to our new floor. Why? Because this photo is of our old floor. 'Nuff said?

Things I won't miss, part 1

We are remodeling our main floor, which includes the dining room. Many things from the home's original decor will not make the cut. Here is one example.

This is the light fixture over our dining room table. The style that Terri and I prefer is "casual/earthy". This seems to be "1980s Greek banquet hall".

Buh-bye.
