Here’s what I’ve been up to. The high light of the week was the Fun Day on Sat at Family Bikes celebrating Bike Week. The weather was crazy (wind, rain and SUN!)–I’ve got a sunburn on my neck that is driving me bonkers! A good week overall.

Once again hit the road (actually the air) and made my way to Chicago to visit my cousin. Hard to believe that Chicago proper only has one Art-o-mat in the city. What a charming restaurant-“Yusho” in Logan Square. We were treated to a soft serve miso ice cream cone with salted caramel–yumm-o! Absolutely lovely staff. Thank you Tim (general manager).

I’m trying do at least one creative thing each day. To keep on target with this goal, I’m taking a photo for proof and continued motivation. As for my efforts, some days are more creative than others. Not sure what happened on Wednesday?!?
