Not Good Luck

I'm not wtiring a huge bolg today because I'm worried about battery power. The place we're staying has those 2 prong outlets and my computer has a 3 prong. It's Sunday and there are no places open to buy one so . . . I'm on battery power.

Can't watch LOST because there are no places up here that have local channels.

Anyway - Saturday DJ and I were at a tiny little wedding in Chicago - the Old town District. My brothers son was getting married. I'll have more photos of this outstanding church later. I can say it's the oldest church in Chicago and at one time was the tallest building in Chicago.

After the wedding we had a few hours to kill so we walked around the OLD Town area and it was really beautiful with blocks and blocks of these kinds of houses. Each place had a little garden in front with ground covers and I noticed that many houses had stairs leading to the front door.

WELL - since the wedding was form a big time Architectural engineer who's son is also a big time Architectural engineer they know all about the WHY.

Seems those cute little gardens were where the pigs used to be kept. Also. the stairs leading to the front door are ACTUALLY leading to the 2nd floor! They raised the street 6 feet since Chicago is actually a marsh. The 1st floor is buried sort of.

ANYWAY - DJ and I are walking down the street and having a loving moment and she say's "We are sure lucky" and swear to God I should have gotten a photo, as the word "lucky" comes out of her mouth a bird SHITS on my head! Said shit bounces off my head and hits my suit. sigh!!

We headed to the reception which as you can see by the photo was a small informal affair. The cool thing was that I could look up from my table and see this view.

We left the reception about 9:00 and got back to Columbus about 12:30 Sunday morning. Had a sleep and then took off north to Door County where we are now on a "business" trip.

SO - until tomorrow

Have a great Monday
