Kris and I drove over to Freeport, IL, where we grew up (together) and where our moms live. My mom recently broke her ankle in more than one place, had screws, pins and wires at work to mend the foot, and is just now starting to be able to walk around with a walker but still hasn\u2019t any yen for getting all dressed up for anything. We stopped first at Kris\u2019 mom, where Kris\u2019 sister had planted some flowers and where we were able to hang a picture and move a clock, and the sort of thing that women of a certain age prefer to have others do.
\nThen we went over to my mom and dad\u2019s new condominium and had a Mother\u2019s Day spread with my two sisters and familes, and watched the Cubs once again dash hopes of some kind of recovery from a miserable streak. Here are two pics \u2014 Kris\u2019 mom (left), my dad (behind), and my mom (right). Then below that a picture of Kris and her sister, Pat.
