Mixed Feelings

I am determined NOT to let my negative feelings for a certain political figure who comes from the Chicago area to taint my memories of my original home town and birthplace. I must admit that I get a grim look, sometimes, as I look over my mug collection, and decide which one to use. But Darn it! There are a LOT of great people who live in that wonderful city. Among those my aunt, uncle, cousins, nieces and nephews. And the memory of my beloved grandmother remains with me always. She was a rock in the stormy seas of my childhood. I love Chicago.
