Friday Favorite Feature 7 — Lake Bluff Grille
Yesterday there was a huge book sale at another branch of our library system. Trish and I decided to go to look for books and magazines with good images for collages to use with the dream group. It was both exciting and concerning to see how many GOOD books were being culled from the library…
