weekly observations department:
I have recently left Lake Zurich, after four wonderful years, for a new apartment in South Elgin. Much closer to work – going back to a 10 minute drive is worth any cost, but I’m paying less monthly here too, so it’s a win in both columns. Cupcake is settling in well, and we’re familiarizing ourselves with the neighborhood – we’re finding it very nice so far.
Unfortunately, I did not pay attention to scheduling – we moved about 10 days before we leave the country for the better part of a month. Can’t win them all, but we could use a vacation at the end of the move. My car’s hit the big 100, but now that I’m down to driving 10 miles a day, it’ll go a lot longer, I suppose.
