Garrett's Popcorn

     I leave for Richmond tomorrow morning and can confidently say that my last-minute running around is finished.  My main goal today was to go downtown and buy six small bags of Garrett's popcorn.  If you read Robin's welcome letter you know that each of us is supposed to bring a little trinket for the 5-6 CW staff members who will be working with us all week.  These thank-you gifts are supposed to be representative of our cities or states, so Katie encouraged me to bring Garrett's Popcorn.  Yum!

     Sure, I could have waited and bought it at the little airport stand at O'Hare but come on....it's really not the same, is it?  I met Lauren (my daughter) for a late lunch this afternoon near where she works in River North.  After lunch I drove to the Garrett's location on Ontario but the line was unbelievable!  Oh, those tourists...  So I spent more time on the streets of downtown Chicago than I would have in that line, and I drove to the Garrett's on Madison and State.  No line.
      I'm so glad that the air has really cooled down here, but have you checked out the forecast for Williamsburg?  101 tomorrow!  And thunderstorms all week.  I am not wearing a bonnet and petticoat in this weather.
