Before leaving Chicago we were guests at Bob's brother's home. Starting on the left is David, our nephew and Bob's God Son, Maria, our sister-in-law and Lee, Bob's brother. Maria cooked a wonderful homemade soup. (minestrone tortellini) We also ordered pizza but we were not as interested in the pizza after that delicious soup. We missed their son John who was away at college. Maria has a very interesting blog that I follow. She is an excellent writer and if you want to check it out her blog is: http://dreamsandepiphanies.blogspot.com/ I feel I have gotten to know Maria better and feel closer to her since I have been following her blog. It is especially nice since we live so far apart.
Their son John is studying art and also has a blog: http://johnsarteasel.blogspot.com/
It is fun and interesting to look in on John's blog to see what his assignments are. He is a good artist and it is interesting to see his talent develop.
