Blues Weekend...

Music is what feelings sound like...

Chicago is a city where there is always something to do at least as far as Arvid and I are concerned.  The main reason we started coming to Chicago was for The Blues Festival.  We have been coming for many years until we decided that this was where we wanted to spend our summers.  With that in mind we bought an apartment a few years ago smack in the middle of all the action...and have never looked back.

This year the Blues Festival will be held from June 10th to the 12th and what makes it even more special is that Arvid's brother and girlfriend will be here.  This will be a weekend filled with music, beers, more music and lots of good food and company.  With that in mind Arvid has already declared it a no phone weekend and a no work weekend.  I'm not complaining.  With the exception of a Pina Colada, I don't usually drink, but that never stops me from having a good time as well.

Last years Blues Festival


Both Arvid and I really look forward to this all year long.  He just loves the Blues...I enjoy the music, being in the park, seeing the people. Arvid gets transported into another world with the Blues....it makes him happy, stress free and so very relaxed...and this year having his brother is a big plus.  We are both excited and happy to have Vidar and Siv in Chicago.  We have rented a car to pick them up, take them to their hotel, do a little grocery shopping, come to our place and then go out to dinner....from that point on it is going to be a party weekend and just about everyday while Arvid's brother is here is going to be a "party" day...Lots of eating out and fun stuff in store for the next 8 days...

Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul...

until next time...
