Happy Christmas Eve!
It’s been snowing for days here in Chicago. This morning, it is snowing the largest snowflakes I have ever seen.
Photos don’t always capture the full essence of a moment, but here’s a few tries. Big flakes, falling gently. It’s actually quite beautiful.
Wishing you Happy Holidays and a Joyous New Year!

It was opening day today for Wonderland Express, the miniature train and Chicago city landmark replica exhibit at the Chicago Botanic Garden. We were there when the doors opened at 10 am.
The exhibit runs from November 28, 2008 through January 4, 2009. If you’re able to attend, not only will you see trains and landmark replicas, but be prepared for “snow” and for fun activities for children. It’s a great exhibit.
Hope you enjoy this year’s photos!
Happy Holidays,
Karen

Photos, Part One
This Monday, January 21, 2008, honors a man whose dream was for all to live in a world of equality, peace and justice: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a man who fought for equality through non-violent means.
One life, one dream. When shared with others, one life, one dream, can and does make a difference.
There are many resources available where you can learn more about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A web browser search will bring up pages and pages of options. Here are just a few.
You can see the video and transcript for Dr. King’s “I have a dream” speech at American Rhetoric, a web site containing many speeches throughout history. Or, access the video on YouTube.
You’ll find facts about his life at Nobelprize.org and in a tribute to Dr. King by Long Island University professor, Melvin Sylvester.
If you are in the Chicago area, the Chicago Park District is offering several events across the city.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
