Hump Day




Hump Day


That really has a different meaning for me these days. Long ago, many many moons ago Hump Day was one of the greatest days to look forward to. Eskimo Joes would offer hamburgers for $1.00 & it was ladies night, free libations to ease a hardworking student's mind.



Of course those days are long gone,  It is a reminder to me of days gone by....... Now, I am not promoting, but I was 21 before I would partake in the festivities at Joes. It does have me thinking of the good ol' days.We are looking into colleges for my daughter so the thought of campus life is a faint reminder of life before designer digs, specialty paint finishes and chic style. When my apartment consisted of blue and mauve, rattan furniture, bunnies and lots of dried naturals and bows!
 Oy Vey!


 Of course this Wednesday will give a flashback, as the luck of the Irish will smile upon many. I wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day!




The Chicago River, as it is turned green every year.

This is a beautiful post, I love the last Chinoisorie and that Green Falcon or bird statue is something I'd buy. Thank you for the St.Pat's photo of river.
Happy St.Pats to you.

I am from Chicago and have many memories of the river being turned green. What people don't consider is that it stays green for a little too long... :-)

Cheers!
