Ooh—something shiny!
Chicago Botanic Garden—9 September 2012
The temporary cool-down made Sunday an ideal day to sneak in another CBG visit—this time to the Waterfall Garden. Water is my favorite element of nature—the sound, the look, the feel, all put me in my happy place.

Columbia College Chicago—12 May 2012</b>
I’ve always been a word person—for pleasure and work. So, you can imagine how much I enjoyed checking out some cool printing presses and old type sets. These were a bonus after our personal viewing of friend Don’s MFA thesis exhibit [see: http://bit.ly/DonMFAThesisExhibit2012].](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photo-of-the-Week/2012-Photos-of-the-Week/i-bbfvSv2/1/d32bcdb6/Ti/2012%2005%2012%20type_120254-Ti.jpg)
![<b>Making whoopie [pies]!
Peppermint—26 April 2012</b>
If you follow my P365, you know that I’ve been on a perfect-whoopie-pie-recipe quest. This summer has been such a rush (and so hot), that I haven’t made any. I’ve reserved time on Sunday’s calendar to bake (hopefully wp’s <i>and</i> pineapple upside-down cupcakes) for NOS and his roommate.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photo-of-the-Week/2012-Photos-of-the-Week/i-365t5Dz/1/8cf84e51/Ti/2012%2004%2026%20peppermint%20whoopie_6110-Ti.jpg)
