Liam – June 11, 2018 As a dedicated recreational cyclist, my favorite time to pedal about is early mornings before the rest of this city is up and at ’em. Usually, I’ll head out with no particular destination or route in mind, but the other morning was different. I was headed to the Gold Coast…
DetailsElla – June 4, 2018 I have always been a dog lover. In addition to being loyal, loving and adorable, dogs can sense and alert their owners to such dangers as a seizure coming on, and there are numerous stories of dogs rescuing people from fires and other hazards and helping track down missing persons or…
DetailsIngrid – May 29, 2018 I happened to be in New York City over the long Memorial Day weekend to visit family out there. The drive into Manhattan from Newark Airport offers a great view of the New York skyline, though it’s still hard to look at it without thinking of the twin World Trade…
DetailsLili – May 21, 2018 There’s always someone in line to be online in our house, never more so than when Mom stops by. “I just need to check the time of that movie I want to see,” or “What the weather’s going to be?” she often says. This week it was her emails. “I…
DetailsMia – May 14, 2018 I’m sure I’m not the only one celebrating this beautiful spring weather after the interminable winter we just endured. After all those months in hibernation, I am more than ready to break out the summer clothes, fling open the windows and find any and every reason to kick up my…
DetailsLiam – May 7, 2018 My wife Kim and I recently lost our dog. Lost, as in he died. Pets, as you probably understand, can be as important to the family dynamic and hold as big a place in your heart as your actual human children. Maybe more, depending on the age of the human…
DetailsElla – April 30, 2018 I have always been a lover of learning. I would still be in college and have countless degrees if higher education weren’t so expensive. Whether I am rediscovering information while helping teach my children or reading the news, being a lifelong learner has always been a passion. It is one…
DetailsLili – April 23, 2018 Although April can still be a little chilly here in Chicago, it’s always exciting to know that warmer days are just around the corner. When I went along to The Danish Home to help with a flower arranging class earlier this month, it really felt like spring. It’s an especially…
DetailsIngrid – April 16, 2018 After the harrowing experience of doing my taxes last night (yes, I’m that person who waits until the last minute), I am really in need of something fun to look forward to. Good thing The Danish Home’s Women’s Auxiliary Spring Luncheon is this Saturday, April 21. Even though it’s snowing…
DetailsMia – April 9, 2018 I’ve got quite a collection of storks, thanks to my mother. The first, in celebration of my birth, was a china figurine of a stork carrying a baby girl. Over the years, more storks followed, tucked into my Christmas stocking or posed atop my birthday cake. Stuffed storks, wooden storks,…
