Bob and I left St. Louis Park about mid-morning on Thursday and drove the 6+ hours to our new housesit for Mr. Gus, a Cairn Terrier, on Lake Shore Boulevard in Chicago. We had a great walk through and visit with the homeowners Thursday night before they flew to Boston to do their own housesit and visit with their son.



Today, Chicago dyes part of the Chicago River green for St. Patrick’s Day. Our friends from Austin are in town for her mom’s 89th birthday. We took the express bus downtown about 11 am to meet up with them and see the newly green river.
