I had a great time with my sister! It didn’t seem like too long of a drive to get there, once I got past the stinkin’ road construction that was right in my own area.

Here’s Felix on a walk. Kristal says her neighbors had plenty to say about cats on a leash. Hard to believe there’s a woods right there by my sister’s place in the Chicago suburbs, but the cats sure love to on walks in the woods.
We made a trip to Woodfield Mall and found some fabulous deals, and then had to stop for a treat.

Mmmmm…. Coldstone Creamery! Notice the nice big bag with the big SALE on the side? Woohoo, the deals we found!
Saturday evening was the swap party. Kristal got the idea from a magazine; those invited brought a few things they no longer wanted but that were in good shape, and everyone swapped! It was great fun.
On Sunday, Kristal introduced me to a great place; Geneva. Lots of interesting little shops and restaurants, however, there isn’t much open on Sunday mornings! Since I had to be heading home Sunday afternoon, that was the only time we could go, though. I’ll have to go back when more things are open!
Since then I’ve been working nonstop. It’s camp season, and this is my busiest time of year, doing camp registrations. Things won’t slow down until August.
