Bob and I finished our Iowa City housesit midday on Friday and headed off towards Chicago for a football/baseball weekend with Bob’s sister’s family and friends. We met up with them for dinner on Friday at Harry Caray’s Italian Steakhouse, where Bob got chummy with Harry.
On Saturday, we had a great visit with everyone again at our nephew and niece’s house and finally got to meet their adorable son, Harrison, in person.
Then Bob and the crew were off to watch the University of Iowa football team play Northwestern at Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. Football on a baseball field, apparently it works, and they had a beautiful day for the game. I did a 1.5 hour walk back to our hotel along the very long and active Clark Street and captured some of the highlights along the way before getting on a Zoom to talk about a possible housesit in March with a homeowner.
We’ll have to try to get him with this next visit.

who was 115 years old when he died!
We left Chicago Sunday morning and spent a couple of hours with my mom before driving onto La Crosse, WI. Tonight, we’ll land at our next housesit in Waconia, Minnesota, just west of Minneapolis. Oh, and we just learned that we got the housesit that I interviewed for on Saturday, so we’ll be back in Chicago in March for two housesits.

Looks like Harry enjoyed Bobs joke. Good to hear you managed to tie in with family. Christmas fast approaching will you manage to meet up with family. ??

I think Harry is just about the only one enjoying Bob’s jokes! We will be with my mom and extended family for Christmas and will be seeing more of Bob’s family in December prior to Christmas.
