Laowai

I persuaded the fam. to go for a walk on this cold blustery morning. It's my birthday so they have to do what I ask. Ha. We went up to Fort Sheridan along the lake. It was beautiful and refreshing and everyone seemed to be in a good mood (amazing). 

I wish there were more natural areas of Lakeshore like this near us. The ravines and the meadow areas next to the color of the water are so pretty.

The tall grass areas on the bluff had been burned which made for more pretty colors combinations.

So now I'm curled up in my bed. I'm listening to the wind howling outside and Brian and Bea and Claire are downstairs making a cake for me. Lucky me!
