My Summer of 2016

Summers are special.  I believe that even when working, it is important to view the summer months as time for recreation and fun time! So, as yesterday was the end of  summer, I invite folks to check out my end of summer report.  Its like the school time.... so, what did you do this summer... report.

I enjoyed summer of 2016.  Nothing super fancy; instead, I enjoyed some traveling and time with family and long time friends. Here is a quick list.  For more photos and details, visit my Facebook timeline.

• Great time at a wine pairing event at Whole Foods!

• Birthday celebration in Las Vegas in the grand MGM Grand West Wing.

• 4th of July holiday cookout.

• Attended my Lindblom Technical High School's 45th year reunion.

• Hosted the Williams and Williams pre-wedding dinner

• Attended the South Loop Ale Fest.

• Enjoyed Mrs. Irene Hughes 100th birthday celebration.

• Fun fabulous Las Vegas Getaway at the Cosmopolitan

• Enjoyed the wedding of my brother to Karen Williams

• Had a ball at Demetra's birthday celebration for Chris

• Continued my daily outdoor powerwalks... weather so beautiful enabling me to meet my step goals  practically every day!

• Taught clinical- pretty good group of students for the most part. Glad to be teaching clinicals to help develop RNs of tomorrow.

• Enjoyed watching the fantastic Summer Olympics!

The very sad situation for this summer is that my family physician for over 30 years is ending his family medical practice. He has accepted a major administrative director's position at a HUGE Chicago-based health care system. So, that system is really fortunate to have such a wonderful MD at the helm.  But bad news for us patients. But, that is for a later blog and I am actually so very happy for his continued success!

So, for THIS blog, enjoy just a couple of  my summer of 2016 photos.

Oh yes... So, how was YOUR summer?
