My Dad had double knee replacement 4 days ago. He is 82 and in great shape, so he is doing great in therapy. They moved him to skilled care today in the hospital, where he will be for a few days till he is ready to come home. He is dealing with a little confusion, tho. They don't seem too concerned about it, most likely a combo of pain meds and low blood pressure from the meds. He has such a great, positive spirit and overall, doing really well.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HtwKKTpZyco/Tx3r9K7acJI/AAAAAAAADbc/Sac8ccPumKM/s1600/IMG_0399.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 190px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HtwKKTpZyco/Tx3r9K7acJI/AAAAAAAADbc/Sac8ccPumKM/s320/IMG_0399.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700972139459014802" border="0" /></a>It was in the 50's today in Illinois???

Looks, charisma and talent, be still my heart! He did so many good things for people in his short life. He took care of his own and lots of people around him. I will come back with lots of pics. Have a good week ahead!</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">P.S. When I return, I will be sharing the garage apartment reveal.

The only time that would work for everyone, was this past weekend. Security was tight as 9/11 approached.<br />We had a almost 2 hr ride in from LaGuardia into midtown Manhattan. Normally, a 1/2 hr. ride. I was glad all the police were around checking trucks, cars and slowing the city down for our safety. Indeed, it is a sad day to remember all the lives lost 10 yrs ago, but New Yorkers are one of a kind and their city is fabulous!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZNFocDVl7iE/Tm1H2Ae3UFI/AAAAAAAACjo/mVKbBdDrP3M/s1600/IMG_0053.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZNFocDVl7iE/Tm1H2Ae3UFI/AAAAAAAACjo/mVKbBdDrP3M/s400/IMG_0053.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651252100587802706" /></a>Dan and I at the little pub around the corner from our hotel, the Hilton in midtown, where we ate and watch US Open tennis :)<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ktm9DdTVO8U/Tm1HnIEpVXI/AAAAAAAACjg/TXcpkY8tFmQ/s1600/IMG_0057.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ktm9DdTVO8U/Tm1HnIEpVXI/AAAAAAAACjg/TXcpkY8tFmQ/s400/IMG_0057.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651251844927280498" /></a>The group from his company on a dinner cruise around the Hudson river...<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FSNDH5w5738/Tm1Hmkc3V_I/AAAAAAAACjY/fh3xDwDmMLw/s1600/IMG_0058.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FSNDH5w5738/Tm1Hmkc3V_I/AAAAAAAACjY/fh3xDwDmMLw/s400/IMG_0058.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651251835365185522" /></a>Here are the sights we were seeing, as we were cruising around...<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HD6axrKPFAE/Tm1HmcVpcJI/AAAAAAAACjQ/IVPbIwli3fk/s1600/IMG_0060.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HD6axrKPFAE/Tm1HmcVpcJI/AAAAAAAACjQ/IVPbIwli3fk/s400/IMG_0060.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651251833187430546" /></a>From the dinner table, Lady Liberty.

I haven't had time to take many pictures, so I thought I would do a movie star post. When I was a little girl, I learned to love the movies from my Dad. One of his favorite actors was James Cagney. For a long time, I couldn't make sense of this little, short guy portraying a "tough guy." When I got older, it all made sense to me. When Cagney appears on the screen, you just can't take you eyes off of him. Not a large man, but truly a man's man.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fC4HOO9cgsQ/ThOlNtE4bZI/AAAAAAAACZ4/heSPtQpjExg/s1600/james-cagney-1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626022014372834706" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fC4HOO9cgsQ/ThOlNtE4bZI/AAAAAAAACZ4/heSPtQpjExg/s400/james-cagney-1.jpg" /></a> James Cagney<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yKTGBCR7aWk/ThOlCoNLBLI/AAAAAAAACZw/1-KUYFFQvQY/s1600/cody-jarrett-in-white-heat.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626021824086869170" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yKTGBCR7aWk/ThOlCoNLBLI/AAAAAAAACZw/1-KUYFFQvQY/s400/cody-jarrett-in-white-heat.jpg" /></a> "Top of the world, Ma..."

This will be a great place for family to stay when they visit. I found the photo below, on the net.

We had so much fun on my visits, but she is not longer there, so these trips ended. We usually go somewhere once a year, so we decided to head back to Chicago to do some of our favorite things! Yay!!!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rmXapTvsJcs/Tam2j_pcElI/AAAAAAAACJE/vPLBE2ecS5A/s1600/IMG_5429.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 308px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596204741481468498" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rmXapTvsJcs/Tam2j_pcElI/AAAAAAAACJE/vPLBE2ecS5A/s400/IMG_5429.JPG" /></a> The lobby at the beautiful Palmer House.

The first episosde aired in Sept. 1970. I had start my freshman year in high school that fall ( yes, that makes me 54 this year, lol) and what an impression this show had on me! I think seeing Mary in an office environment made me want to work in an office setting, which I still do, today. I loved everything about Mary. Her great apartment, her clothes, her style, her class. Great show, that I still watch today :)<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G-1mygFfN5s/TJ_LIYxfXcI/AAAAAAAABbU/1JAsW2ielSw/s1600/Mary,+Rhoda+and+Phyliss.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 167px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521355013128936898" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G-1mygFfN5s/TJ_LIYxfXcI/AAAAAAAABbU/1JAsW2ielSw/s400/Mary,+Rhoda+and+Phyliss.jpg" /></a> The girls.
