Poppina and I drove down to Lake Forest, IL for Thanksgiving as guests of our dear pals Bruce and Deedee Borland. After chowing down tons of white meat and drum sticks, mashed 'taters, Brussels sprouts, pecan pie and shamefully-sinful ice cream frozen into turkey shapes, we had to get up from the table and out of the house to loosen our belts and stretch our legs.
Deedee suggested the Chicago Botanic Garden where she's on the Women's Board and Bruce is a passionate visitor and supporter. NTS and I were eager to view the stunning display of handmade holiday wreaths, but especially check out the "Wonderland Express" model railroad display -- a favorite with Chicagoland kids of all ages, for many, many years.
Foto subjects grimaced in the bitter cold and strong northwest wind just long enough to let me get a pic for the Poppy Blog. For you, dear readers, there's still time to catch the train -- HO Gauge, Lionels, America Flyers, N and R -- and we highly recommend the trip.
