    Tendrils - Me! I grew up outside of Chicago, IL but now reside outside of Minneapolis, MN. (No, I don't like the cold! and GO BEARS and CUBBIES!) I've been called many names in my life.... many of them derivatives of my given name. My son calls me Momma. My husband calls me Honey. My students call me Teacher. My family calls me lots of things...... ;) However, here, you may call me Tendrils.

    Hubby - My loving husband of 5 years.

    Punky - Our 3 year old son who is growing like a weed!

Chicago – Day 1 – Picnic

Ok, I am starting to get emails, phone calls and harassing remarks. I need to update the blog! Sorry!

Chicago was fabulous! We split our time between mom and dad’s house in the ‘burbs and their condo downtown on Michigan Avenue. It was nice to be home and see everyone!

Day one was our annual Hill Picnic. I can’t remember how many of them we’ve had….but I know we at least go back 17 years. This years theme was “Pirates of the Hill-ibbean!” We had a great time and there were lots of pirates in the crowd! I think all but 5 of us were there. Here are a few photos:
