was packed as full as possible.  Here is a picture of our new truck with Chicago in the background.  Also, one with it fully packed as we look like the Clampets driving down the highway with all of our belongings.  The prior planning of test packing in the living room helped out.  Oddly enough, there was enough room for many boxes of golf balls but not the toaster…….

Photos from the Balcony

Gayle and I have lived for about a year on the south side of Chicago, in a new high-rise building across from Soldier Field, home of the Bears.  The views from our north facing balcony are incredible.  Each morning a new view awaits.  Click the link below to view my book at the BLURB.com WEB site.   When at the BLURB.com book site, click on the small box with the 4 arrows in the lower right to make the book fill your screen.  We have seen some incredible views from our home in the Museum Park neighborhood.  If you should wish to order this book, I recommend the hard cover with the dust jacket and upgraded paper, at least the Premium Luster or better the Pro Line Pearl.  The colors just look better.
