2026 - Chicago and a Graduation!!

Can you believe in all of my many long years, not only of age but of travel, that I've never been to Chicago, unless in a plane waiting on the tarmac counts . . . don't think so!

Next week we (Joe's Mom and Dad, Aunt and Uncle and Nonna) are off to witness my Grandson Joe's graduation from Kelley School of Business at University of Indiana. Hard to believe that this young man who was just a little one "yesterday" is now going to experience this wonderful lifetime milestone. As his Nonna, who didn't go to college, I see this as a tremendous accomplishment. . . and am just a touch envious. Must mention that three other grandchildren (and their parents!) have also climbed this mountain of academia. Kudos to all of them. This graduation is getting blog time, because we are beginning with three days in Chicago. So stay tuned . . .
