Back and Eating Pizza
I'm back from Tanzania, and I'm eating pizza. It was one of the things (not people) I missed the most. I actually got back Thursday, but we've been pretty busy.
I'm going to have to get with a lot of people and share my stories. I'll be putting a slide show together too.

I was just thinking you should be back soon. I'm so glad you are back safe and sound and from your picture: handsome and happy. Would love to see your slide show -- maybe when you are at your Mom's. We will be in Hawaii, hopefully, 11/3 through 11/8 and your Mom will be at our place taking care of my cats. Maybe after that!!!!! So so so so so so so glad you are home safe and sound. Love, A. Char xoxoxoxo ;-p
Thanks, we will have to schedule that. My slide show is too big to email and some of the pictures need a bit of explaining. Of course, all of the pictures have a story that go along with them.
The Flowers of Mundelein are: Dad is Daisy Mom is Gardenia Eldest daughter is Stargazer Lily (Star) ThenOrchidand Tulip
The Mundelein Flowers’ names do not correspond to the letters that begin their first names, but everyone else’s flower name and their real name (or title) start with the same letter.
Papa Pansy is married to Boushette Begonia They have four sons and a daughter Lavender.
The oldest son is Daisy as we mentioned before.
Second son is Sweat Pea who is married to Daffodil They have daughter Carnation and son Wisteria.
Third son is Rose who is marred to Juniper. Their daughter isJasmine.
Youngest (baby) son is Ginger who is married to Holly. Their daughter is Lilac and their sons are Geranium and Petunia.
Papou Peony is married to Yaya Yarrow They have a son and daughter Gardenia.
Their son, Gladiolus is married to Sunflower. Their daughter is Azalea and their son is Aster.
Flowers that aren't flowers - these folks are so near and dear that we treat them just like flowers:
Marigold is married to Apple Blossom (23 Aug 08) Jonquil is a very old and good friend of Sweat Pea from Owasippe
I don’t have names going further out. If you read this and want a flower name please let me know. It would be easiest to remember who you are if your name had something to do with you or had the same starting letter.
If you don’t pick your flower name then I will when news comes up about you.
Flower Power!
Grand Re-Opening
As of 8 August 2013 I will be again using this blog to post family and personal related matters.
I will be revamping Illini6 as a more professional site.
Also as of this date I will not be using the flower code words anymore. It was just too cumbersome and at times kept me from posting.
I will use first names only and/or initials to minimize the exposure of full real names.
I will not be posting about future events for the most part, just reporting on past events.
I will leave the list of flower names for reference on any posts that pre-date this re-opening.
