Makin’ the most of what we’ve got Jack Salamander in Harmony Park—1 August 2013 There’s been more than the usual amount of chaos in our family world lately. Needless to say, Tom and I enjoyed taking a tiny respite with a picnic and music. After the concert, we enjoyed warm greetings from front man/my high school pal Lem. All in all, the evening was just what the doctor ordered.

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. [This shot is from last school year’s <i>last</i> concert.]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photo-of-the-Week/2013-Photos-of-the-Week/i-Ps2XFzL/1/8e62cf8b/Ti/PHS%20Bands%20Firsts%20and%20Lasts_0084c-Ti.jpg)

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.
