“Heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak. . . .” Arlington Heights Memorial Library—23 December 2013 I hope you’ll forgive me for dropping the Photo of the Week ball a couple times this fall, because I got a day job! Working in a library—one of my favorite places on Earth! Hopefully, I’ll get used to the “new normal” routine soon; so stick with me here. There’s lots more photo fun to come!

Palatine High School Bands concert—8 May 2013</b>
Tonight marks the first concert of the new school year. It’s also the first with a new director, and the first of Number Two Son’s senior year. I’m ready to be entertained.

Charlie and his blanket—29 November 2013</b>
After Granny died, I had a sudden urge to crochet (she knitted and crocheted). I taught myself mostly with YouTube videos, and started on my first project. Hannah’s kitten was the perfect recipient—he’s adorable, and he doesn’t complain! Now, I’m hooked on crochet.

Palatine High School Cross Country v. Prospect—3 September 2013</b>
The Varsity Boys team won its opening meet (all the PHS teams did), in what we expect will prove to be a wonderful final season for Number Two Son, Adam. Argeni (followed by Emil) is one of this year’s captains (along with Adam, Dean, Emil, Eddie, and Graham). This was our favorite shot from the afternoon.
