Everything changes, but still it remains the same. I'm staying with a cousin, about a half mile from the Old Orchard Shopping Center. For seventeen years, while Robin was growing up, we lived about a mile from Old Orchard. It's a much different place today, more shops, less class, but well within my comfort zone. I went there this morning and bought three more pairs of pants, size 16. Whoopee!
I always feel like I should know people when I walk around here. After all, I lived in and around Chicago for 61 years. I search the faces of all the old women knowing full well recognition is unlikely, but always hoping for the magic of a familiar face. It was not to be.
My cousin's wife is related to a man who briefly worked for Richard thirty plus years ago. He happened to be in Chicago and came here tonight. So that was today's nostalgia.

Retired teacher, artist, still trying to keep going at 77.
But a new wardrobe and a new you are to be cheered a bout. :)
