stormkeeper_lovedorisThe weather is so nice lately! Looks like the next couple of days will be good too, such perfect fall weather with warmish days and cool nights.
Yesterday (after I posted), I took the el to downtown Oak Park to get a frame from Ten Thousand Villages for the print that Pam and Sean gave me. So now it's framed and displayed.
Today Ann and I had a tea and Scrabble date, and it was wonderful as always! I went out early and visited Lyman Woods (finally got to do an almost-complete walk through of the place) and the smaller Mayslake. I wanted to eat lunch at the Indian veg place I haven't been to for a while, Shree. They were supposed to open at 11:30 but the door was locked. Around 11:38, a guy pops his head out and says it'll be at least another 10 minutes before they open. I asked if we (me and 2 others who were waiting) could at least sit inside since there was no bench or anything out there. But he said no. Maybe because I was hungry, but I really loved the dish I ate at the nearby Thai restaurant instead!
That's been pretty much it for today except my usual things. Just sitting around waiting for Doris to come home from work now. Tomorrow my fun activity will likely be a trip to Wicker Park (though I might change it to the Lincoln Park zoo). If I'm up for it tomorrow evening, it's my last chance to see a local theater's production of "Fair Maid of the West" - or I can hit up Hamburger Mary's comedy show too.
