Summers here always seem to go by too fast. I can’t believe it’s almost August! Since summer is so short we should try to enjoy it every day. Whether it’s going on vacation to an exotic place or fishing lake; or simply finding things to do near home I hope you try to make your summer great! I’m not going on vacation this year; instead I take days off work and attend festivals and concerts or go shopping with friends. I confess that going shopping and doing lunch with friends is my favorite vacation activity this summer. We especially like to visit thrift stores and hunt for unique and special items that are rarely found anywhere else. Whether it’s clothing, shoes, art or furniture there are a lot of treasures to be found! One of our favorite places for treasure hunting is downtown LaGrange. It’s convenient – everything is in walking distance to the METRA stop and you can browse several thrift stores, an antique mall, a bookstore and various retail stores. And whether you’re having breakfast, lunch or dinner, there are also many delicious choices of restaurants. So, go ahead….enjoy your summer days!
