Summer is my favorite season. Living in Chicago you never know when the nice summer days will end. Usually we have a few good weeks, then the high humidy, heat index and ozone warnings strike. This week has been perfect, So on a perfect holiday weekend we Chicago folks head down to beautiful Lake Michigan.
I spent my Friday at Navy Pier, Millenium Park and of course, The Taste of Chicago, I am so sunburn but it was well worth it. It was a special family day with my daughter and mother.
For a day at Lake Michigan the only appropriate foot wear is FLIP FLOPS! I love the sand on my feet.

  3. Beautiful card, Linda! How clever of you to add sand -- love it!!! Sounds like you are having a lot of summer fun! I was very blessed to be able to visit Lake Michigan as a child, and I still remember it as one of the neatest places I've been. Thanks so much for playing along with us again this week, and for your very kind words. Hugs, Deedee
