A long time ago and a far place away the tradition of May Day was celebrated to spread joy to a selected few. We would do Dixie-cup May Baskets; complete with construction paper handles, fill them with M&M's and Jelly Beans (unwrapped of course) and head out before school to surrounding doorsteps.
I am proud to report I remain just as corny today. (And then along came Meaghan Marie!)
All of my children are fantastic!
Michael just called and he is still looking for a job but his latest idea is a fantastic one! He thanked me for the heads up on May Day and stated perhaps I "saved the day!" This makes my day cuz of course I am reading between the lines thinking Jackie may get a May Day Candy Bar! Moms cannot always 'grill" the boys as easily as they can "grill" the girls. After a weekend in Chicago Greg was looking forward to a Monday without "proposal" questions. Meaghan goes into detail in her Blog about "having something wrong with her that she isn't married..." and I am thinking Greg has the same missing "chip."
All of my children are fantastic....Today though, Meg rocks!
I had just read Meaghan's Blog when Gretchen called from Waynesville Missouri and I was "damning" Meaghan. Meaghan wrote a Blog which manage to reduce me to a puddle of tears and totally bring me to a place so friendly, familiar and fantastic I was crying. I just learned all tears stop you cold in your tracks. I cannot function until I absorb the depth and wealth of the moments expressed by our oldest daughter. For those few which are not too absorbed I will place a link...But be warned should you decide to read "Seester, Seester" you will have been bitten by the Meagster's bug and will need to read on to
MaMa (Miss) Meaghan. (Click on Meaghan's Blog)

Spent last weekend in the Windy City enjoying the company of Ron, Greg and too Annelise. Greg took me to see the new movie just released "Bully" and it was a winner! It is not a "feel good' kind of picture but I think everyone should be required to see it! It is "life changing"....It is.
I took Greg and Ron to see Jersey Boys. (I had seen it before but this 'repeat' helped to erase all memory of days past!)
Greg treated us to a White Sox game but they fell to the Red Sox but not before we ate 100 pounds of peanuts, drank beer and ate nachos. (So much for sodium restricted diets!)
So much for any diets. . .
Just a few of our favorite and expanded dinners were feasts at:
Chicago Chop House Grill
Sabel Chicago
Ditkas
In my defense: Brought the bikes and made a 15 mile ride along the lake uneventfully. (Have yet to repeat this effort however. My excuses are I have to read. "The Ice Man Cometh."
Did I ever tell you that ALL the men in my life have always been "BIGGER than Life!" and remain so to this day!
