October daze

October went by so fast at times I felt like I was in a daze! Dan decided he wanted to take advantage of the government's $8000 rebate for 1st time home buyers. Various times I would accompany him to view different condos. He discovered the joys of house hunting. He had 2 or 3 condos he was ready to make offers on but for one reason or another, it didn't work out. He even made an offer on the perfect condo for him but they didn't accept it. Nothing else seemed to interest him. Then, a week ago, his agent got a phone call from the homeowners he made the offer on and they wanted to T A L K. To make the long story short, they agreed on a price and signed the papers. Dan should be able to move into his condo around the 1st of December.

Dan, Adam & Becki are inundated with homework; thanks especially to Math 1050. They have all lectured Jordan to make sure he takes as much math in school as he can so he doesn't have to do it in college. Thank you. That's one less lecture I have to give--maybe.

Mark & I made a trip to Wis. to visit and help out a bit. We spent a day in Chicago checking out the Windy City. And I do mean windy! It was cold and I did not come prepared for bone-chilling weather.
It was so cold they shut down Buckingham fountain.

Bracing myself against the wind.

One sharp building, that Sears tower, or whatever they call it now.

Mark is trying to hold down the fort, so to speak.
