The summer pillows are out!

I've put away the furry, dark, winter-y pillows and brought out the summer ones. I love them all, but that green one has such a fresh color . . . hmm . . . maybe if I squeeze it, some lime juice will squirt out!

My son, John, gave me the Picasso poster two Christmases ago. Here are Don Quixote and Sancho Panza with the blazing Spanish sun shining down upon them. Cervantes' masterpiece is one of my favorite books, and I have always loved Picasso's rendition of the characters.


I'm beginning to feel warm.

What is the world coming to? A Sox hat (even a partial hat) on the Picasso? Everybody knows the Picasso is a North sider, he'd never root for the Sox! But we all know that Mayor Daley is a big Sox fan, so that explains that.

We just heard on the news that the Ricketts family is finalizing the purchase of the Cubs franchise. Let's hope the new owners are interested in winning the World Series one of these days. It's just been too long without a win. Cubs fans need a break.
