Day 2 of Chicago

We are on the 31st floor, corner unit and the lights of the city last night were spectacular. The Marriot seems to be in the heart of the city tall buildings all around. The famous Michigan Avenue is on one side, the Rush street entrance is where we entered. We left the curtians open when we fell asleep but Mark got up during the night to shut them as the light was keeping him awake.
Tonight is the Disney parade on Michigan Avenue so we will just walk out the door to watch.
Mom was called this morning to see how she fared with Darcy. Tara called her at 5:00am to tell her that Abby her lab was having puppies and the first one was breach. Jay, Tara's husband had to pull the pup but all is well, it is a strong healthy yellow lab. It is now over 5 hours and she has not delivered a second pup. Her water broke a couple of times but no pups. They can feel them so they know there are more but still to far up.
Mom left to go home for breakfast and couldn't find Darcy again and there she was in the second bedroom UP ON THE BED.
Ruth came over to see the pups, picked up Darcy and took her home with her so mom doesn't have to worry.
We got up early, walked around the city, had breakfast at a grill, and now I'm back up in the room. I've hooked the laptop up to the hotel internet at $14.95 for TODAY only so I can work from here today.Maybe I can take that charge off my taxes.
