Cancer Survivor Day!




Went with Mom to Blackberry Farm for a free luncheon. Amazed at the number of survivors attending... from Rush Copley hospital in Aurora. Mom is five year survivor now. Fantastic weather for a picnic! Pioneer Park at Blackbery Farm is a wonderful historical park with museums of early city and rural life, with demonstrations happening in blacksmithing, wood carving, pottery throwing and spinning wheel. We enjoyed a train ride around the park. New log cabin home to see yet, off the beaten path. Precious farm babies to capture. We left early, after lunch so Mom could attend my nephew's graduation too!

Congrats to mom and you on your award! That's awesome! Which creative piece of yours got the award. Pioneer Park/Blackberry Farm! Memories. I grew up only a few miles from that area. Small world. Love that place, like going back in time/ when life was simpler!
