The Windy City - Severe Saturday?

Posted by: juslivn, 12:20 AM GMT on September 15, 2012

">

Welcome Fall (well, the feel of Fall is already in the air) and welcome all the changes a new season brings.
Let's see where the winding road takes us in this blog. Thank you for stopping by to set a spell and take in life :)

Candles lit for all those in harms way, or who have perished by weather, volcanoes, earthquakes, political/religious unrest and illness or strife. May the changing of the seasons bring about a change of calm skies, peace and goodness to the world.

Hi jus, Gosh, lots of music I don't know. Was dropping in to let you know the bacon barter guy is in Chi-town. See wp's blog. Maybe you can get him up to your place and trade some Saturday supper or Sunday brunch for bacon. :) Have a great weekend. Member Since: October 9, 2005 Posts: 13 Comments: 495

Hello, sorry I haven't been around much. Open houses here and it was really busy with work. Company coming in a few minutes, too. My surrogate dau will be here ;) She is the one who ran away w/Wandering Gypsy when they were 18 to Colorado with $45.00 and my gas card! They're all growed (grown) up and she is bringing her fiance over to meet me for the first time. She lives in New York now, and I haven't seen her for like 5 years? Wow, has it been that long! Back in a little while to watch the vids and goodies you dropped off Shore, and BF when I have more time. Ylee, ha ha Flannels! We're gonna need them sooner than we think--like Tuesday!!! Yes, that spot is about 45 minutes on the Ice Age trail in Kettle Moraine State park, just over the border. One of my favorite places to go in Fall. BBL hope Alaska can hang on to it's igloos!!!

Hi Jus, love the sentiment in the beginning of the blog, I like you haven't been around much in the last couple of weeks have just posted on Sandis blog why. Dogs wouldn't ya know!How are your guys going? We are in spring so not really looking forward to the REALLY hot weather while you guys are probably not looking forward to too much cold. The best thing about this time of year is that the gardens look green and lush for just a short while, the veggie plot is getting going and lots of oranges, grapefruit and lemons to use from our trees.If we get some warm weather in the next few days the citrus blossom will be out and the garden will smell magnificent one of my favourite times of the year! Hope you had a great time with your visitors! Member Since: November 25, 2008 Posts: 0 Comments: 396

Totally awesome Shore!!! Thank you for bringing that. Rummy doesn't look blind at all in that water :) That was really a great piece. With all the bad news in the world, it is nice to see a news story like that. Hi Ozgalah, I just read your great post over at Sandi's and I see you should be beaming ear to ear with your successful breeding! I am so proud of you! Why, you are basically famous! Way to Go! Congratulations to the I was at my son's home the other day and Molly and Boomer are doing very, very well. We've had an awful bout of Kennel cough in Wisconsin. My sister-in-law had an event (field trials of some sort, hers is a golden) and 30 of the animals had to scratch. WOW! Then my Mother in Law's existing little peke came down with kennel cough. The rescue guy is doing ok. Meatloaf (my lab) is fighting an eye infection. UGH...all kinds of stuff in the air around here. You are lucky you are there. Hope your summer is not too hot though. Take care! SD! Quoting #2: "Hi jus, Gosh, lots of music I don't know. Was dropping in to let you know the bacon barter guy is in Chi-town. See wp's blog. Maybe you can get him up to your place and trade some Saturday supper or Sunday brunch for bacon. :)" Have a great weekend. That is too freakin funny! I would have totally given him a ride on the Chain O Lakes for Bacon! Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

Hi jus! We knew you would have a good barter for bacon, but alas, he stayed in the city the entire time :( He did manage to find nicer accommodations than the sofa at Purdue. Tomorrow, he moves on to Iowa. He has a BLT offer in Iowa City already (#needit) I wonder if he knows to barter some bacon for toll money before he leaves Chicago LOL Adding a tune, hope it hasn't been posted already Clear crisp 50 degrees here tonight, brrr Member Since: February 26, 2008 Posts: 11 Comments: 1920

Well, you know what IOWA stands for??? I Oughta Waited Awile---- 'In ILLINOIS! for BACON!!!' (hey, it was a good effort. I give it a 4 for effort on a funny factor scale of 10--eh?) Oh...woops...nvrmnd ;} Yes obviously, I'm tired... We had a good rain here today. It did get cold fast and getting a tad chillier. Saturday, we have an evening event by the Lake Front in Down Town Chicago at the Art Institute. Uhm...it will be 57 degrees! Yes, trying to plan the wardrobe is always fun this time of year...Flannel cocktail dresses are in, I hear :) Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

Flannel cocktail dresses are in, I hear :) Not been around much the last few days, but I laughed when I saw the above comment. Layers, my dear, layers! As in a fancy pashmina or glittery cardigan! Hope you are well, and glad to see you drop by my blog, even if you don't have time for stopping! lol Member Since: October 29, 2005 Posts: 252 Comments: 22400

Hi all. Sandi, Ylee...LOL I'm going to need a flannel dress and a hard hat with all this wind here in Chicago!!! We had 'fire weather' watch today due to the low humidity and the winds. Now!!! We have thunderstorms! How do we go from incredibly low humidity, to thunderstorms in a few hours! Wow! The winds were very strong and wish I could have done a video when at their peak because the trees were really whipping around out there (as many of you have seen in my vids here) Well, enough complaining about weather. Kitty has a sore from a stray cat I'm concerned about. Why can't outdoor cats fight infections anymore? Hmmm. I never remember my kitties when I was young going to the vet all the time. Sheesh. Meatloaf's eye infection is doing a bit better. Who knows what THAT is, too??? Hubby has to do the eye drops because it takes two to get those in. Here's a new photo of Boomer (below)!! I can't wait to have them over. I miss my babies so much and due to work, plus Meatloaf's eye infection, I can't have them visit... Oh well, they are doing just fine without me :) Ta ta all, and I will try to visit (lurk) if I just don't have words. Thanks for stopping and be safe all ships at sea or in port or where ever you may be! You are in my thoughts... Boomer wants to go riding in Wandering Gypsy's Jeep! Travelin Man!

Sandi, one of my girls left behind a piece of fabric--fairly large, which I thought was a wrap for a bathing suit...AH HAAAA! It is a pashmina! Score!!! I will see if I can fit it into my outfit this weekend at the Art Institute function. Thank you all for having some songs, posts, photos, cheer and interesting things on your blogs, including what is the weather.

Thanks Sandi! LOL Brrrrr cold and drizzly here. But, the last of the flowers look so pretty with the saturated colors. Heads up Central IL/IN Tornadoes are a small possibility in the 'slight' risk area, as well. Stay safe Happy Friday for anyone who pops by. Sorry haven't been around much. Work and lots of family stuff zapping time away... I shall contemplate a Monet or two for 'ya tomorrow night at the Art Institute of Chi. Can't wait! We will have a special dinner there, too, in the museum. Have a great weekend. Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

Indianapolis is getting the brunt of this central system now... I have a confession to make. It was cold and rainy and I stayed in my bed and watched tv-- 'Mountain Men' all day on History Channel. Now I'm having a glass of Chardonnay and maybe going to half price za :) Life has its compensations. It was one of my hardest EVER work weeks in my life. EVER. I cannot post why. But, hopefully everything will work out for the best because I truly care so much, I over did it. As for Mountain Men, I cannot get enough of German Shorthaired Pointer, Ellie on that show! I think Ellie is just amazingly beautiful :) Photo credit: The History Channel Not sure if I can photograph at the Art Institute. I still have no clue what I'm going to wear. Maybe will go shopping tomorrow? But, it's always a fun event once a year with this group--The Zoo, Field Museum, Museum of Science and Industry, now the Art Institute...Very good times. I'm blessed.

I'm just hoping I am on the right blog. are You the guy who has an interest in pellet guns? If so I finally got a pocket of pellets and tried out the pistol. I hit the bird feeder storage can at 40'. No idea so far where this thing is throwing the pellets yet. Guy I work for has just bought an Air Rifle with a scope. He's serious about pinging the black squirrels. She will not settle till I come to bed! Mananna: Sorry- I meant to post on a different blog but got rushed off to bed before I had checked. Blogging too late is fun but not always simple.

No problem ycd! It was an interesting story I'll have to check on you to see how it's going :) Going down to 34 degrees late tonight. Obviously planning on wearing a pretty heavy coat for being right on Lake Michigan tonight. Brrrr in the Windy City on LSD ;) Here is a link to what we may be seeing tonight at the Art Institute of Chicago. I'm looking forward to the Film and Photo in New York exhibit, and the Allen Ruppersberg collection "No Time Left to Start Again/The B and D of R 'n'R", and the Frank Lloyd Wright one.

It was fantastical! Just amazing! The Monet and the Impressionists! I wanted to cry! I think I did cry. To be among that art and look around a room where stepping back in the room they would dance again from every angle 25 ft away or 2 feet in front of your eyes! Oh, I was wrong earlier. Not Lake Shore Drive, duh...Michigan Ave. I have pics of the lions on my phone but it died The R 'n' R exhibit was good. I may have been one of the few people who really, really looked at that :) Pics of the trip are on my phone but none from inside (uploaded some of the trip to FB) but the rest I will post tomorrow. I see they expanded the frost warning to include us now. It truly was not bad in the City. It was refreshing. When we got to Fox Lake (and the trains went to bed ;) it smelled almost like snow. Goodnight all ships, be safe. Visions of Monet are dancing in my head all night for dreams. Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

How many Bloggers does it take to screw in a 100 Jelawat light bulb? One hundred. One to do it and 99 bloggers to argue whether or not a Jelawat will cause global warming. Add: I know, I know...that was really, really bad. Hi SD. Yes, last night was pretty amazing. I seriously have to go back. Do you know that was the first time I've ever been there? Not sure if the impressionists are always there, but that gallery is simply the most beautiful. There were some galleries closed to our group which I must go back and see again. Thanks for stopping. Will have to look at Miriam. Can't believe we are still seeing Nadine! Have a nice Sunday. Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

Hi Jus, the GSP is nice but in our group at the dog show one of our top winning dogs is a GSP and most of us sort of go ohhhhh when it wins AGAIN!!!!! That sounds bad but it is beautiful and there can only be ONE winner. Love the "travelling man" photo, hows the kennel cough and the eyes going? My guys are having a break now no shows for a while, daughter is coming in Nov. as we can't fly for a while owing to H's health, she is bringing us Thanksgiving....... not sure if I can find pumpkins in our spring though. We have 16 degrees today and heading for a possible 29 wed/thurs hope summer takes a while to hit us! Sounds like you had a wonderful night with all the art and glad it wasn't too cold, loved Chicago, the architecture was amazing! Member Since: November 25, 2008 Posts: 0 Comments: 396

Hi Ozgalah, oops I didn't see you there, we posted at the same time. Awe, I guess you would not love the GSP, then LOL. Glad you have a break for a little while from your busy show schedule. Hope someone can bring you a pumpkin maybe? Or send you one? Maybe just some little gourds? Oh you will have fun with your dau being there for the holiday. Meatloaf's eye has had to have drops, but there has been no improvement. I had him on hydrocodone allergy pill, too but I'm shocked how bad this eye thing is. And, now the kitty has some sort of missing fur and two injuries on her hocks. I need an antibiotic for her, too I think. It never ends. What's up with that! UGH. Oh well, I suppose it could be worse. Knock on wood it is nothing serious. Stay cool! Thanks for stopping by. Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

Hmmm they're tossing around fire weather alerts for here in Northern IL, too, on the discussion tonight. Not good news for Northern IL. Brrrr. We're at 38.6F here. I stayed inside and baked all day :) It smelled like a bakery in here. We also checked the boat due to the winds last week. One of the lines did stretch and was in the water. Wow. But, it did fine. I'm starting to think it will be an early 'Fall Boat Day' (pull out) this year. Oh well, night all ships.

Nice song NEw! Yes, we are at 72f/42f at night...peeerfect! I'll take it! May even get a bit warmer tomorrow. I stopped by your blog but didn't get a chance to write. Saw you got a lot done and are thinking of doing the floor. We did 'Manufactured Hardwood' It is sort of like laminate, but yet still hardwood. That was about 4 years ago and with the traffic here in this house!!! It is holding up great. Many colors and woods are available...we did Brazilian cherry. Love the product though and could give you the specs if needed. See you tomorrow. You know I'm always popping in when I can. Rarely miss a blog even if I don't post. Hi Ylee!!!! I love your new blog, too! Thanks for the info on Jelawat. I was goofy yesterday. But...all the activity of the day before with the Art Institute and the trains and waahooooo. I was just having fun. Sounds like it is an early Fall for us all. Very weird to have our seasons almost reflect something somewhat 'normal'. As for work, I made it through without a hitch today (so far). Last week was unbearably heart wrenching and I'm like totally scarred and need therapy! But...that's another story :) LOL Snuggle close in these great sleeping weather nights! Have a bonfire or a taffy apple! At the dinner the other night, I had a piece of cheese I could literally taste a whole scene of sitting by a campfire in the mountains--it was smoked so lusciously! MMMMMMM. Gotta love Fall! Thanks for stopping! Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

Hi, tonight is warmer here Wab. Hope you are warmer, too. Ooops I think the windows are still open here and I probably should close those before going to bed. Thanks for the reminder, but it has been rather pleasant today. In other news....My husband has been into the Alfred Hitchcock movies lately because he found the Alfred Hitchcock Channel on Encore or something. He is determined to see all the films like a series. (wow) When we were in California, we tried to go where the scene from Vertigo was filmed at the tower, but we got a bit distracted, lol. Anyway...he was watching yet another one, 'Family Plot' and this scene came on. Cracked me up! LOL! I am soooo glad we did not see this before we went to see the Sequoias up and down those mountain roads!

I am glad your week is behaving better than last week! Some of the words you had written set my mind towards a creative bent!

LMAO! Didn't see the controversial end of the Seahawk game because I flipped over to Dancing with the Stars to wait for Emmitt Smith's dance... :) BUT the thing that got me mad on Sunday was that guy (#51 on the Denver Broncos) when he tried to put Houston's QB in the neuro ICU, or kill him. #51 shoulda been kicked out then and there, and suspended, and forced to donate to a neuro rehab ward, if not be arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.

Oh, you were referring to Typhoon Jelawat! Duh! Now it all makes sense! :) I was thinking what unit of measure is a jelawat? I figured that you avy was taken either in Cali or Lake Mich.(the guy in the water behind you beng sucked out by a rip current)! You think the NFL will kick out the scabs and give the real refs a raise and let them come back? Not likely. If the Players Association was serious about solidarity, they'd walk, too, citing safety concerns. That'd bring everybody to the table! Member Since: February 3, 2011 Posts: 65 Comments: 11298

Hi, looks like you are getting it pretty good, too there SD. Stay safe and hope it is over by now! I got home late from my son's so I just sort of watched the storms in So. IL and didn't jump on to post. Saw some tweets about damage, ugh! Yes, part 3 begins, Fall storms. So, here is the pics from my visit with the 'grandkids' lol, ok fine--grandpups! What a great yard my son has at his new place. We sat and visited for a while. It was his day off. The dogs are really well cared for and happy. (I am proud of my son. He is a lucky kid for getting something like this with a great yard and tolerant landlord. Plus, a neighbor upstairs with Bella! Is that not freaky luck smiling on everyone?!!!) On another note: It was 'Marnie' for tonight's Alfred Hitchcock movie. Interesting flick. You WILL NOT believe what I saw in that movie. I'll post it after the pups... Night all ships! "> Scene from 'Marnie' - (couldn't believe the sets of this film! Awesome. Plenty of reviews on the plot and very interesting for the 'times'. Sean Connery--Well need I say more??? We could 'stare' at him all day! LOL) But, I picked out something in a scene which was uncanny! I think I have these similar pieces! Do you remember me posting we inherited them? I have not sold them yet! If you are on my FB, shhhhhh, don't give it away) (see minute 2:38 thru 2:50, you can stop the tape). The whole thing is pretty darn good, too. a href="" target="_blank">Link "> "> Member Since: August 20, 2009 Posts: 73 Comments: 9031

I had to watch that video clip a couple of times before I focused on the settee like yours... you are certainly more observant than I am! It is a beautiful set, and definitely a family heirloom! I see the Ryder cup is in your state.... how close to you? I will watch some of it, especially as it gets towards the final day:-) Member Since: October 29, 2005 Posts: 252 Comments: 22400

So someone stole Alfred's knick knacks for the movie set, and a couple owners later, they're yours? I do hope the statute of limitations has passed! ;-)(Just kidding!) Take care! Member Since: February 3, 2011 Posts: 65 Comments: 11298

Jus,awful story,I get so creeped out by these animals that abduct these kids. We had an incident a couple of weeks ago where two kids playing in their front yard and guy drives up and tries to pull the young girl into the car,thankfully she got away. Scary,just scary. We in full fall mode now as we start to get mornings in 40's and some 30's,and we have trees starting to change. Member Since: September 6, 2007 Posts: 815 Comments: 13069
