Just a fun night at the Skid Row Flower Shop… with Seymour, Audrey & that darn Audrey 2. Someone (me) didn’t check out our tickets beforehand… so a little surprised & excited to be front row center! Practically ON the stage at the Marriott Lincolnshire Theater in the round! Made it a little tougher for me to sing-along when the real actors were just inches away… singing on key!!!

But when a little Triple Berry shows up in the mix… how is one to choose??? And why should I?… after all, today is a National Holiday!!!

A chilly morning… windy & cold along the lakefront. Beautiful colors as the waves came crashing in. Hovering right around freezing… a crisp way to start the day! And to think we were in the 70’s just a few days ago?!
