Friends at work told me about Chimney Bluffs.  Thought it sounded great.

Unfortunately, the night before two little boys were reported missing from another state park when nature proved no match.  My nerves were shot as I saw sign after sign screaming DANGER DO NOT GO NEAR THE EDGE.

So we didn’t.  I didn’t even go near NEAR the edge.  I didn’t want to be there if one of my kids – ugh – never mind.  I can’t even type it.

And it was windy and cold. 

But we did get to stop by Barbara Jean’s Furniture Outlet in North Rose.  I always wanted to see that place.  I got the card of a lovely saleswoman for the sofa I want “Some Day.”
