Trip #1 A train ride into Chicago. We visited the Farmers Market on Daly Plaza. I bought a wonderful Garlic and Cheese spread and Linda bought Chocolates. We shopped and had lunch at a sidewalk cafe. Later we strolled around the Lurie Garden in Millennium Park and finally, drinks and live music at the outdoor Park Grill. A Perfect day in the City!
Trip #2 A visit to the sustainable farm of the "Queen of Gardenista's" and founder of Market Day, Trudi Temple. She is one of the best "life" story tellers you will ever be inspired by. I promise you every gardeners wants to be apart of "Trudiland". She is not just a kindred spirit,
she is more of an energy, unique and exciting to be around.
Trip #3 What month would be complete without another trip into Chicago. This time my Irish twin and baba sista, Lisa and her friend Liz joined us. Yes, it was Linda, Linda, Lisa and Liz walking and embracing our look of suburban tourist lost in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood. One gentlemen called us the Golden Girls (I am sure it was not about age, we are all blonds). We shopped and laughed. We had dinner at a wonderful Mexican Restaurant and of course there was more laughter. After dinner and two pitchers of Mexican mojitos, we were on our way to see the garden and outdoor entertaining area at the home of Rick Bayless. I love being me!
Next month, the Renegade Craft Fair in Bucktown. I am really going to try to shake the suburban house wife look. Wish me luck!
