September 2011 Photos
View of dowtown Chicago. The building in the center with the flag on top of it is the Chicago Tribune building.
The Chicago Tribune was started in 1847. The building was under construction from 1920 - 1925.
Ahhh, my meal of saurbraten at the Berghoff German restaurant.
Uncle Eddy enjoying his saurbraten.
My very cute cousin Karen enjoying the Panko Crusted Goat Cheese salad.
The three of us enjoying lunch on Friday, September 16th, 2011.
Yep, it's the Berghoff! Notice Cousin Karen and Uncle Eddy posing in the lower center of the picture.
When I was at the Museum of Science and Industry, they had an old fashion main street, with various offices and shops. One of the restaurants was the Berghoff. The sign said it was established in 1898.
Hey! That's me and my Uncle!
All three of us. Don't we look like we've had a satisfying meal?
Cousin Karen in Uncle Eddy's garden. This is late Fall, so the tomato plants are being to die.
That's brocolli in the foreground.
There has gotta be one more cucumber hiding in here!
The back of Uncle Eddy's house. The house is believed to have been built in 1911 and has been in the family since it was built.
Notice the light fixture directly above the garbage can.
Oh my! The "light fixture" on the back of the house is really a statue!
These flowers are edible and have a peppery taste.
Check out this tomato! It is balanced on the branch of the tomato plant! Amazing.
Another picture of the balancing tomato.
Uncle Eddy had this saw hanging on the wall in his basement. I couldn't resist taking a picture of it.
Uncle Eddy at his computer. We are getting ready to call my Dad using Yahoo Instant Messenger.
Cousin Karen has done a FABULOUS job of redecorating the house! There is more room and it is easier to get around.
This is a picture of my Aunt Lorraine, a pilot. This picture was probably taken sometime in the 1940s.
