All these photographs were taken in West Chicago, Illinois.   We were dropping off and later picking up our taxes.  Couldn't resist stopping for some photographs here and then there and everywhere.

Foggy day at Lake Michigan, Bahai Temple, Wilmette, IL

A rainy day.

A rainy day, picking up my SUV at the dealer because the wiper motor was recalled.

Today our first born son was born 53 years ago.   We can't believe that we are parents to a person that old. He must be catching up with us.  ROFL....!

Happy Holiday!

My husband has neuropathy in his feet and has unbearable pain.  Once a year, he has an appointment with Debra E. Young D.P.M, 2732 North Southport Avenue, Chicago, Illinois - (773) 327-0006.  Dr. Young then recommends my husband to go to therapy at Peak Balance, 3545 Lake Avenue, Suite 103, Wilmette, Illinois, (847) 251-2028.

After the doctor's appointment, I usually have a shooting fest.  Here is what I found this year.  Enjoy!
