In March of 2016, I took Lilly to Chicago. It was our first trip to Chicago...our first ride on a train...and the first time I got to spend the day with Mary Fons.
*****************
You may remember reading this blog post about the time Lilly and I visited Mary Fons in Chicago. Well, if you are a Mary Fons fan (and who isn't?) -- you know she's moving from her lovely, most perfect Chicago condo...to a smaller, pet-friendly condo...
Read all about Mary's Philip Larkin (her dream dog's name) drama on her blog --
Papergirl.

AND -- because she won't have room for her FASBULOUS, TERRIFIC, MOST WONDERFUL FABRIC STASH (which I have personally seen)...she's putting it up for sale on eBay.
So -- HERE'S THE LINK...now -- go on and buy yourself a bundle of Mary Fons joy-filled fabric stash.

March 2016: This weekend trip was Lilly's 7th birthday present from me...and I wanted it to be THE first big city experience...and it was P.E.R.F.E.C.T...
To review, Mary met us at our hotel at Noon, and we took the City Bus to the Art Institute, then we had High Tea a the Russian Tea Room,
 |
| Then she put us in a cab and we are headed -- where?? |
 |
| TO HER VERY OWN CONDO..!! |
 |
| She and Lilly picked up her mail. |
 |
| Then, went up an elevator, down a hall, and opened the door. |
 |
| Lilly loved her eclectic furniture. |
 |
| We even got a tour OF HER CLOSET (and all those high heels!) |
 |
| We even got a picture with Pendennis!! |
 |
| My favorite picture of the entire weekend... |
 |
| Lilly took this picture of a mouse on top of a mouse. |
 |
| And, yes, people, THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS... |
And it really was magic. Lilly and I arrived on Friday afternoon, and left on Sunday afternoon -- so we really only had one complete day in Chicago. Saturday. And from the moment we got up that morning, I cannot imagine doing anything better than exactly what we did.
Lilly doesn't even know how lucky she was on this most perfect day...but, when she is older -- it will hit her.
