A Valentine’s Day List So That I Always Remember

A Valentine’s Day List So That I Always Remember

Barb’s Handiwork

I celebrate my Valentine’s Day with…

A dog whisperer who can turn a 40 lb Labradoodle into a lap dog.A friend who charges nothing for interior design advice.A volunteer who can’t leave the healthcare environment behind.A chef who knows how to complement a delicious meal with a colorful plate.A Neil Diamond super fan, even if I am the only one who ever wears a Neil Diamond concert tee shirt.A community leader, always striving for improvement and beautification of the world around her.A needle-pointer extraordinaire, for whom the photographs of her handiwork above cannot begin to demonstrate the exquisite quality and magnificence of her work, or the love she pours into each canvas, each embellishment, and each and every stitch. (The hearts are from me!)A Nana whose grandchildren adore her.A mother who will drop everything to help her kids.The woman who is my wife of 43 years, the love of my life, my soulmate, my duet-partner. The woman who shares my brain.

Just remember, through it all, I Got You, Babe.

Hi! I am Les, a practicing pathologist living in the North Suburbs and commuting every day to the Western ones. I have lived my entire life in the Chicago area, and have a pretty good feel for the place, its attractions, culture, restaurants and teams. My wife and I are empty-nesters with two adult children and a grandchild. We recently decided to downsize, but just a bit! I will be telling the story of the construction of our new home, but also writing about whatever gets me going on a particular day. Be sure to check out the “About” page to learn more about where we plan to go with this blog!
