DAY AFTER AFTER










We just said goodbye to our two daughters and sons-in-law who live in Minneapolis - heading back home in this sleet - so we're praying for safe travel tonight for them all.

We got our Christmas tree yesterday. We've always selected a live one. After years of Fraser firs and Balsam firs, we went with an old standard this year, the White pine. It stands at 8'11" - just nearly grazing our living room ceiling, but not quite -- just right.

While our kids were in town, we hopped on the METRA to Chicago and visited the Museum of Science and Industry. I couldn't even say what my favorite exhibit was there ... maybe the 775-foot long captured World War II German submarine ... or the 100 decorated Christmas trees from countries around the world ... or maybe just watching baby chicks peck their way out of their eggshell homes beneath incubators ... or it COULD be my favorite moment was at the "Fast Forward" exhibit, which showcases tomorrow's inventions and today's innovators. The pics below of Joelene and me were taken at that exhibit. Freaky, huh?












Hope you had a tremendous Thanksgiving holiday.

And be blessed.
