Street Musician

Here we are in Chicago, where Mike is attending a conference for work. We went to Navy Pier this afternoon, came back to the hotel to go swimming, and ordered a pizza. It was going to be delivered in an hour, so while we were waiting, I took my harp out to the sidewalk where people were walking by the Chicago River. I had to practice anyway, so I set out a bowl and started playing. Soon, someone came along and dropped two quarters in my bowl. About 20 minutes later, someone else put in two dollars. Then I packed it up and went to eat pizza. I don't think I could make a living as a street musician, but it sure was fun.

I love it! We can picture that so well. The girls and I went to the new American Girl store at Water Tower Place just 3 days ago, before the True Woman conference in Schaumburg. What fun, it would have been for us to walk by you on a Chicago sidewalk practicing your harp!
