End of One Era and Start of New One with Charile
Unfortunately I lost my dog of 8 years – “Chuck” to cancer. I welcomed a new addition in “Charlie” – a 13 month old boxer/lab mix from PAWS (Pets are Worth Saving). His name came from another nickname of Charles just as the previous dog’s name. Photos are Charlie at Loyola Beach in Chicago and Chuck’s last days.
2017 Chicago auto show, Birthday dinner, new car and more!
My annual visit to the Chicago Auto Show occurred in February 2017 with the American MGB Association. Bruce Magers birthday was celebrated at Prime and Provision where the food and atmosphere was great. Also shown is a Cubs World Series pennant at my mother’s grave, Margies birthday shirt, White Sox opening day and the 2017 British Car Autojumble in Wheaton, Illinois.
I purchased a 2017 Honda CR-V Touring as a result of comparisons at the show in May

Florida Trip 2011
Just got back from Florida where I had a great time in the warm weather. Went to the beach several times and the Miami zoo. I also had a chance to visit with long time friend John Hennigan who now lives in Dania Beach and is a realtor. I made appointments to look at several single family homes in the area including Dania Beach, Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale. Many of the homes looked great but I am not quite ready to have a second home in Florida but would like to someday soon.
