June 20th

Another 6 months, getting around to another update. We are now officially moved into what is our 4th house in literally two years. Lived at 1253 Tamarack up to July 08, moved to Chicago Ave while building house #1, moved into house #1 in Aug 09, moved out of house #1, on now at Mill St while we build house #2. Hopefully, it will be five moves within 3 years come next spring, and I think that will be it for moves. Would love to keep building, but will have to involve some other means than us moving all the time. Was rather interesting that while house #1 was on the market - we seem to be designing a house style that people like, as I had one offer to buy my house plan and several people mention having interest in me actually building houses for them (albeit, it was likely just small talk). With that said, it is on to the 2nd build and that blog we start when that time nears.

Attached are several pics from a fathers day excursion to downtown Downers Grove to the Tivoli Theatre basement for some bowling at Tivoli Lanes. The idea to take the 10 minute train ride from Naper to Downers was scratched due to the threat of storms and the fact that we have been stuck 3 times in storms after having walked downtown the past 3 weeks.

Tivoli Lanes is the perfect little old school bowling alley for kids. Kids are free on weekends (except for shoes) and I bowled free for fathers day (albeit, its only $1 per game anyhow on summer weekends).





A couple random shots of the 2 minute long Naperville Memorial Day parade before a monsoon rolled in and we swam home.
