It was 66 degrees and sunny and felt just like football weather today. I expected to see fall colors in the trees. It's August people! Not Yet! It was perfect for Jennifer Naida, Johnny and I to walk along the Diversey Harbor. It was part of the run/walk for the Peapod Project for Childrens Memorial. The project was started after a Chicago couple lost their baby shortly after she was born. The nurses saved their daughter's little hat and blanket. They gave them the mementos which have become so important. So now they are making sure other families who lose their babies, children or teenagers have resources to help and keepsake boxes. Love this idea! Jennifer and I both have friends who have gone through similar ordeals. Photographs, lockets of hair, anything can be so precious.
