Happy Apple Going-Away Party
Stopped by Happy Apple Pie Shop, LLC for Michelle Mascaro’s going away party, and one last slice of her fabulous apple pie. They’re closing for a week, and then Easter Seals will be taking on the business, with Michelle’s recipes and staff, and with her consulting. So in a week, I’m sure I’ll be back

Three Quick Movie Reviews
Three quick movie reviews. I’m bundling them together because I watched them all with Kavi (my 19-year-old), and we both had essentially the same problem with all of them. Very mild spoilers follow. … … … The problem we had with all of them was they had great visuals, but very little we cared about

Summer Book Club
I have a weird idea, want to run it by y’all. I’m very concerned about the recent drop off in ability to read entire books in my college freshmen. I’ve been thinking about ways to address that. This would only reach a few kids, but if it works well, maybe others could pick it up
Substack
Quick note that I’ve joined and started actively using Substack. I’ll keep posting on FB, of course, but FB tends to show posts to maybe 10 of my 10,000+ friends and followers these days, which is deeply frustrating. Hence, trying Substack. I want to talk to you! Some of you want to talk to me!
Plant Watering Spike
Hey, folks. Help me shop? I’m looking for mini plant watering spikes. Pictured below, you can see a regular size one — you put a wine bottle full of water over it, and the water slowly seeps through the clay, helping to keep the plant evenly watered. I am TERRIBLE at remembering to water, and

Habrae in Forest Park
I was driving home yesterday from a frustrating experience at the doctor’s office (the new Loyola system is a complete disaster, have been there TWICE trying to sort out my kid’s meds, and will likely have to go back again, GAH), so decided to get some delicious Thai food from Habrae in Forest Park. I

I needed a reward for my virtue
I had some tedious banking errands to do, so I ventured out into the terrible air, and felt I needed a reward for my virtue, so I swung by Spilt Milk (impacted by the construction, but if you park at South Blvd just west of Oak Park Ave., you can easily walk over). Couldn’t decide

Hooray for bandanas
My bed head is epic these days. I bathe every night, and don’t always want to shower again in the morning (so I can style it wet and curly). And just brushing it out gives me a puffball when my hair is this length — which is fine, but warm in this humid 95F weather.
