Made pasta bean soup. Better with extra shaved Parmesan and salt, and add diced versus crushed tomatoes. Must heat up a bread baguette or bread bowl with it. Found a great bottle of cab at the new Mariano's in Glenview. Piano player was a plus.

Beautiful October day. Sunny, 75 degrees, colorful leaves and slight wind. Some leaves on the ground, maybe just past the peak. Had to get outside, just forgot sunscreen. Went for a nature walk after yoga at the Grove in Glenview. Thought of Trudy, my old neighbor and former Grove volunteer, science / nature lover. Will send these pictures to her.

Quicker than oatmeal and tastes great in the fall.... a bran muffin

This week I visited a CPY in Old Town, my old stomping grounds. I loved the cozy, downstairs studio and upgrades such as remote music access for instructors. Plus, it was right next to a Starbucks. Always been a fan of this one versus the big one on Wells. My two favorite businesses: CPY and Starbucks! And Potash Bros market across the street is also a plus. 

Cute little corner.
