The Old Cook County Hospital ... it still stands and is still in use. But the archatecture is from way back when ... Beautiful and impressive. Personally, I love the old, more ornate and artistic archatecture vs the new, modern streamlined versions ... Do you agree?

Pet Mouse :)

So you know, I get many of my backgrounds and cartoon figures from Google images ... then I replace the parts that fit my theme. Don't want you to think I am that talented 🤣

I continue to struggle with the Trump drama ... his presence haunts me every day. I look forward to the day when we can get back to truth and values. Be well, my friends ...

Swans

On Ice

So, as beautiful as they are, they are very territorial and aggresive. And, believe me, you don't want to be swat by one of those wings. Their bone stucture in the wings is comparable to a man's arm and they can do a lot of damage if they get you. Beside that, they are fast on their feet, so running away from them is no easy task. I speak from experience as we had a pair at the rehab facility (pictured at the top of this post). You would think that they would be glad to see us when we came to feed them, but no ... I and my cohorts had to run for the gate many times. Not one of my favorite memories 😁
