Whatcha Gonna Do?

Posted on July 17, 2012 by Ginny O'Donnell

This is my 17-year-old nephew. He lives in Kentucky. And yet, he is a huge Chicago Cubs fan. And he is here in Chicago to tour Wrigley Field and take in a game.

We went to dinner with him, his girlfriend, and her parents last night, to where else? Harry Caray’s.

And on our way back to our house, we stopped off at the 014th District, so he could give his patrolcousin a hug and a hello.

What? A chance to go on a ride-along? No way! I mean, Aunt Ginny says absolutely no way. His mother would kill me. But he did put on a bullet-proof vest and take a quick tutorial on the computer in the squad car. And I snapped this photo to text to his mom, to mess with her  just a little bit.

“Permission to ride along?” I texted. Tee hee hee. She’s gonna freak out.

“How can I say no?” texts back his mom.

I think his mom knows me too well. And messed with me. Just a little bit.

About Ginny O'Donnell

After reading a really nice obituary a few years ago, I considered what they'll write about me. "She worked all day, then went home and made supper." Except now, my husband has retired, so he makes the supper. Hm. I sound kinda lazy, but I'm always busy. You'll see. Part 2: I like my original About Me, so I'm keeping it intact. But now I, too, am footloose. Let's see what happens next, shall we? Part 3: Just to keep everything in perspective, I'm keeping parts 1 and 2 intact. Now, I am actively and happily NOT so footloose, doing my thing over at Cottage Door Press. And with it being off its training wheels, I will pick up my ginnygram pen again. Love!
