Favorite activity in Chicago:

It’s not so frequent anymore but I love a Cubs game on a warm summer day, and especially when the Cubs win on those occasions 😊.

Favorite place in the town of Lake Forest:

It’s got to be dining at the Deerpath Inn but a close second would have to be the Lake Forest Bookstore.

Fun fact to share:  

I can cook an amazing risotto!
