What a lovely weekend you've served up, Chicago. First there was Friday, with a day off filled with roofdeck sunshine, stocking up at the grocery store and lovely hot dogs at Huey's. And not just dogs, but Chili Cheese dogs, with the onions, please.
Then, a stroll down to the Playground from Andersonville, filled with NPR nerd gossip and drunken cubs fans from the burbs. Show and drinks after, then late night viewing of Silence of the Lambs.
Saturday was coffee and buckwheat pancakes, a little bit of box moving next door as Lis and Jarrad arrived, laundry and even a little walk to get a cute outfit for dinner. Then, guac, hummus, cheese and beer-graitas on the deck with the sun setting behind us. Thai food at Thai Pastry and then back to the deck for the end of the evening.
Today was the renaissance faire, and it was like a movie set of what a renaissance faire should be---light filtering through the trees as we watched the jugglers and munched on cheese fritters. Sniffers drove the jeep, so summer sun just bled on us the whole way there and home. I even wore a gypsy skirt to try to fit in with the wenches and what-not. Lovely, lovely weekend and there's still one more day off.
Well-played, Chicago, well-played.
