Week 16 Miracles

Recently, we had a report of an apparition of the Virgin Mary in an underpass here in Chicago. If CNN was there, it must be something important.

Week 16 Miracles

Many believe this is an apparition of the Virgin Mary. While I am not here to decide whether it is real or not, I'll let you decide what is on the wall. Sometimes we all need a miracle.

Week 15 Broken Dreams

Our Church had their spring rummage sale. There is always a large number of discarded exercise machines. Kind of a boulevard of broken dreams.

Week 14 Kane County

Last week, My family and I visited the Kane County flea market about 30 miles west of Chicago. There is a large assortment of stuff here and it takes a half day to wander through without really looking real hard. It was the first decent weekend of the year, but I noticed there were less vendors than in past years. Ebay effects all industries.

This vendor had a large assortment of reproduction labels of old veggies and fruit cans.

Week 14 Kane County flea Market

While it is billed as a flea market, there were many artists creating and showing their work. This gentleman will engrave flatstones with purchase of the rock.

I had other pictures to share, but I misloaded my reel and lost about a half dozen images.
