This is quite a RIDE…………let’s see where it all goes…perhaps with a bit less GREED and more Concientious decisions…..We will pervail………no doubt about it……..The corrections have to be made and when that is accomplished, we will be so much stronger and wiser..Adversity can be an asset.(per Dr. Schuler)…it is indeed time for more National Pride and grateful appreciation for being an AMERICAN..

Although the beautiful malls are busy over the holiday, people are doing more window shopping, however, looking for great bargains. Places such as Neiman Marcus, Norstrom, Macy’s in the Oak Brook Center have been gleefully filled with shoppers. Beautiful warm weather helps along with wonderful Art Shows for consumers to observe. Hinsdale, along with its quaint down town, shows promise with it’s charming shops. A good sign for the economy..We shall survive..and bless the people in the south and their precarious weather…
