We'd visit them, they'd visit us, it was GREAT. Now, they're heading back to Chicago. Thank goodness for FACETIME and Skype....and e-mail and telephones. I'm going to miss them terribly, but now that we're retired, it's not such a difficult thing to hop on a plane or take a drive. We're used to that...after flying and driving from one coast to another to visit, a trip to Chicago is a piece of cake. You'll be saying the same thing very soon.

Welcome home!
Pooh, I hope your son and his family will be Cubs fans . Don't know if you've ever been to Chicago, but from May through October it is a very nice place to visit. Tons of things to see and do. Now December through March in Chicago can be another story...
