Linda's Less Is More

This is what true friendship looks like, I lost my best friend in 2008. She was only 55 and still think of her every day.

Jimmy Kimmel broke down in tears while honoring his friend and late bandleader Cleto Escobedo III . The show will take “the next couple of nights off” in the wake of Escobedo’s death.

“We’ve been on the air for almost 23 years, and I’ve had to do some hard monologues along the way. But this one’s the hardest because late last night, early this morning, we lost someone very special who was much too young to go, and I’d like to tell you about him, if you don’t mind... There was a boy who lived on my block. He lived across the street and two houses over. He was a little over a year older than me. His name was Cleto, but we all called him junior. Eventually, we met and became friends. And not just regular friends. We became 24/7, ‘Mom, please let me sleep over, please,’ kind of friends. One summer, I slept over at the Escobedo house 33 nights in a row. My mother used to make me get down on my knees and beg to sleep at his house in front of him. And I would gladly do it, because we were never bored. We were always up to something."

🗃 Are you like us with boxes and boxes of paper work EVERYWHERE!? Lucky 🍀 for you, you don't need the states permission to get rid of those old bills from 1989 like we do!
If you have boxes or bags come to the City's shredding event on June 17th 🗑📄

Saw this at the Calgary Indoor Farmers Market. I certainly agree 😋.

Yes he won’t lady as long as his mother.

For you Jill Siex Schmidt

Need help this summer getting organized or decluttering? No job is too small for me.

Here's some helpful information on recycling and programs in the NW suburbs of Chicago. Lots of people do not know you cannot put recyclables in plastic bags nor can shredded paper be recycled. Happy Earth Day.

Happy Earth Day!
