From mom on Thurs 9/11:
I'm calling from Chicago. I'm a little tired today. Got to the motel earlier. Watching weather and the politics!
From mom on Fri 9/12:
I'm in Oak Park. I took a nap in the van. Legs are really aching. Stood through the Frank Lloyd Wright tour yesterday and then Ernest Hemingway's home. FLW was more interesting to me.
The picture is of Margaret Hunt, my 100 1/2 yr old friend! Her mind is very sharp. I told her we're going for 105 now and that I'd be back! I want to know how to do it because my goal is to get at least to 101 - because of all my schooling (ie, History 101, etc)!
Coming into Chicago was very frightening. Comes from a farm land right into the big city. There are toll roads too but I haven't hit any yet.
Some things I'm not doing because of the weather - like the Sears Tower. Wouldn't be able to see anything.
As you can see from the comments on the previous post, Larry's been helping mom with her GPS. She told me today that she figured out why it wasn't charging - she had plugged the USB charger into the wrong port on her laptop! (I can't for the life of me figure out what port she DID plug it into, but didn't think it was important enough to ask.) Unfortunately, once she had figured it out she didn't have enough time to charge it thoroughly before leaving the motel, but now she knows how next time she has access to power.
I'm glad that people are enjoying the blog! Please do continue to leave comments - just click on the pencil below the blog posts. If you have an update from her, please feel free to add it! If you just want to send encouraging comments, please do so! I do know that she is checking the blog. Thanks everyone!

You are one adventurous woman, Ellen! PS I loved Chicago! Maybe it was just because Drew was there! We enjoyed the museum with the "body" exhibit, the Navy Pier, and shopping! We didn't have time to go too far from the Boot Camp.
