Visiting Novelty Golf & Games (warning: catchy 1980s commercial jingle will begin as soon as you click on that link) has been a summer weather (or summer-like weather) tradition for me and my husband since we first started dating; in fact, it was one of the first places I visited with him on my first visit to Chicago. So it was the perfect thing to do over Memorial Day weekend, me taking a break from studying, him taking a break from work. Technically, he won, but then, everyone’s a winner when the night is capped off with ice cream at the Bunny Hutch.
Next Saturday, I take my comprehensive exam–the last hurdle towards my masters degree. (There are still two hurdles standing between me and my teaching certification, but hopefully I will also clear those by the end of the summer.) In the meantime, I have started a brand-new job, with seventeen brand-new little ones to teach and learn from, and even though it’s chilly and cloudy today, I know that summer is on its way.
I want to go mini golfing now.
well, now that you’re back in town, we will be able to drag you along next time.
