Atticus and His Letters

Atticus loves whenever he visits the grandparents, to work on gramp's computer. Grampa will bring up Word, enlarge the font, and then let Atticus type his letters. He loves to hold a key down and let the letter show up and then tell grampa what the letter is.

Great Grandparents

Here are pictures of my great grandparents. They are my mother's mother's. Antonia Strunk and her artist husband, Frank. They arrived from Germany in the early 1900's and moved to Chicago. Frank was commissioned by the Roman Catholic church to design and complete sculptures of saints for the church. I guess he was pretty good. In the mean time his wife, Antonia, raised a family and created a small fortune in real estate much of which she lost during the 30's depression. She climbed back though and by the time she passed on she had a comfortable portfolio of stock which she carried around in a carpet bag.

Dinner at Podolak's

Friday night a few ago, we had a fish chowder dinner. As usual, Chuck was over the top. In fact, it smelled so good, Ashley decided to come over.
