For my third watercolor class, we graduated to marbles in 3 colors!
These are the lime like marbles.
These are the orange like marbles.
I did not do any practice painting this week.
Might not be as much fun as, say, riding your bike with Bailey, but the message must be sinking in, because you can see the improvement! OK, *I* can see your improvement. These really do look dimensional, and I'm sure that's the point of the exercise! (ugh, and why bother with exercise if you don't see results!)
So, good job & keep at it!! :)

text: Forde AbbeyPrologue Forde Abbey, four miles south east of Chard, offers a fascinating history, a stately home full of rare treasures and, above all, one of the oldest and finest gardens in the south west of England. The abbey is particularly famed for its massive walled kitchen garden, full of colourful flowers, interesting vegetables and tender fruits like apricots growing against the shelter of the old walls. As the camellias, Chinese witch hazel and cyclamen of late winter fade, ten acres of snowdrops burst into life, to be overtaken by a stunning display of daffodils in March. There are many beautiful statues waiting to be discovered in the grounds, including a bronze stallion rearing over the lawns and a beautiful statue of Leda and the Swan in the mermaid pool. |

Winston was a great host! Not only did he provide a quality home to stay in for 4 nights for a reasonable price but he included my transportation to from the airport and back and I appreciated that the most.
Broadview, 伊利諾伊州 60155, 美國
amazing house, beautiful home, clean, affordable, comfortable and nice rooms and services near public transportation, she is so friendly.
Rony2017-02-20T00:00:00ZThe room was so nice and cozy. Sadly, I didn't get to meet Tara, but she messaged me before my trip and gave really good info how to get to the room etc. She also responded fast and was friendly. The location was great, nice and peaceful. Still, easy to get to the downtown!
Jenna2016-12-25T00:00:00ZOur stay at Tara's was more than delightful. The room was cozy, spacious, comfortable and accurately described. On top of everything, Tara went out of her way to make our stay comfortable and to stay in touch. Additionally, the neighborhood was both charming and close enough to the downtown area. Would definitely recommend Tara's to anyone hoping to explore all of Chicago.
Carlos2017-01-10T00:00:00ZTara's was a great place to stay. It's not directly in the city so you don't have to deal with all the hustle and bustle. However, it's still close to the Green line so you can get there in around 25 minutes. The room was clean and in a private corner of the downstairs of her home. There was a nice shared space which included a sitting area and a kitchenette. I didn't personally use these areas but it was nice that they were available. The room I stayed in shared a wall with both the kitchenette and the bathroom so it was quite noisy at times of use. It wasn't anything too extreme that bothered me but anyone who is a really light sleeper should use caution. I think Tara's other rooms would do better for you. I'd definitely stay here again the next time I come to town! You just can't beat it. It's super affordable, private, clean, and Tara was super friendly and always available right away if I had any questions.
Sylvia2016-11-16T00:00:00ZMy girlfriend and I didn't know what to expect of winter in Chicago. Since we're Mexican it could get super cold for us, but we didn't feel as much and it was mostly thanks to Tara's place. The room is cozy and warm and has as much amenities as a nice hotel: reliable WiFi, kitchenette, washing machine and dryer, a comfy bed and the feel of being part of the city. About the neighborhood: it's awesome. Tara's place is like three blocks from Hemingway's birthplace and Frank Lloyd Wright's Home. It was a nice surprise to find, as a writer, the childhood home of one of my favorite American writers. Besides, there's this little Oak Park downtown full of life and eating places. We even had the chance to go to the movies on a Tuesday (tickets are just $5 that day). Oak Park embraces you immediately and makes you feel part of not only the city, but the entire American culture. Yes, it may look a little far from The Loop, but it's actually not. A 25 minute commute on the CTA takes us very easily Downtown. Since we stayed on a winter I don't know if it gets very hot during summer, but I'm shure Tara's kind hospitality will overcome the weather, just like it did during the cold.
Pablo2016-12-30T00:00:00ZWe loved our stay at Tara's! The room was exactly described, it was comfortable and cosy and we had access to the living and kitchen area as well. Tara was very helpful, and the home is just a 5 minute walk from the green line train into downtown in a very nice neighbourhood. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!
Jess2017-01-07T00:00:00ZHad a great stay at Tara's the room was a perfect size with a big bed. The location was perfect walking distance to some great restaurants.
Abraham2016-12-16T00:00:00ZTara has a lovely home. It was quiet and clean and close to transportation. I did not meet or speak with Tara directly since I was arriving late and leaving early, but all the necessities were provided. Oak Park is a lovely neighborhood.
橡樹園, 伊利諾伊州 60302, 美國
The location was perfect. Food, drink and touring were all within a few blocks walk. The apt was roomy for 2 people and more than met our needs. We didn't use the kitchen other than the coffee maker and refrigerator, but it seemed in good shape. Heather was very friendly and accommodating. Unless a guest has trouble carrying luggage up the stairs, it is a perfect place to stay in Oak Park.
Stephen2016-08-13T00:00:00ZIf you're looking at this listing, you probably already know about Oak Park, and that Forest Ave is *the* street for Frank Lloyd Wright-designed houses. You also probably know how close Heather's place is to downtown OP, the El, and Metra. (And if you didn't know that, you didn't read her extensive description! Go read it now.) It's a very easy place to be: a comfortable bed, plus an air mattress and lots of room on the huge couch, if need be; a kitchen with all the amenities you'll need (except perhaps a microwave); and a spacious living room with a great media setup. As Heather mentions, there's just one air conditioner, but with the assistance of a couple of fans (the electronic ones, not the admiring people), the place was comfortable, even in the middle of a heat wave. Heather is a terrific host -- quick to respond to messages and requests, and always looking out for your best interests. I just wish we had more opportunities to talk in person.
Richard & Ann2016-07-25T00:00:00ZMy stay at Heather's coach house was wonderful! She was such a thoughtful and communicative host. The coach house is beautiful, historic, and just as described! I second her note though - it does have steep stairs and the claw foot tub, while beautiful, would be difficult to use if you have any mobility issues. That is in the description though, so no surprises there. Oak Park is a bit of a trek into the city, but is accessible by train and bus - I got around just fine without a car. And it was nice to see the beautiful and interesting neighborhood! All in all, a wonderful stay. Highly recommended!
Leah2016-04-18T00:00:00ZLocation, location, location! This place is smack in the middle of the Frank Lloyd Wright district, and walking distance to EVERYTHING. I really mean everything. We enjoyed 4 nights at this exceptional place.
Kathy2016-10-17T00:00:00ZHad a lovely experience with Heather! We wanted to stay at a location that was outside of Chicago but was close via public transit, was unique with character that tied into Chicago, was safe, and close to it's own commercial district. Oak Park was ideal...a charming neighborhood with plenty of architectural character, various Frank Lloyd Wright and other tours, a lovely commercial district and just one short green line train to downtown Chicago. The coach house itself was warm and cozy and easily accommodated two people and only a few doors down from Frank Lloyd Wright's first built home and studio, which we toured. Heather was prepared for our arrival and was kind enough to let us arrive a bit early, which was very appreciated. She checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we need and made sure we knew she was available to us for any questions, guidance, etc. Highly recommend!
Jennifer2016-11-07T00:00:00ZHeather is such a thoughtful host! The Coach House has everything you need. The location is great and the neighborhood is so lovely. This is the second time I've stayed there and I would book it again!
Paulina2016-06-04T00:00:00ZEverything was Kosher!
Jalen2017-01-02T00:00:00ZI felt welcome and very comfortable, though I only saw Heather shortly at the beginning. The place showed a wonderful attention to detail, such thoughtful consideration of what I might need or want. As a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, the location could not have been better. I liked being just doors down from his house and workshop. I took a tour but also enjoyed hanging out around the place. It was fun to walk in the cool evening around the neighborhood filled with amazing houses. To actually stay in one of his places-wonderful. I kept telling people "You should stay there". It was easy to get to downtown on the Green Line, and Uber was handy and cheap. I didn't get around to riding the bikes. Next time.

We felt honored to be Mak's very first Airbnb guests! We were in Chicago to celebrate my daughter's 17th birthday and to go on her first college visits. We were a small group - 1 adult and 2 teenagers, and Mak's coach house was perfect!! We've been to Chicago many times but had never really visited Oak Park. Mak's house is in a gorgeous and quiet neighborhood. We arrived around 8:30p on Thursday. Easy check in! Mak had given us great directions and she stopped in to make sure we had all we needed. We walked a few blocks for pizza at Lou Malnati's. Again, such a beautiful neighborhood - historic homes, large trees (we even saw a skunk on the walk back!). Friday morning, it was about a 15 minute walk (.5 miles) to the green line. $6 round trip ticket with stops just blocks from the Art Institute, State St. for shopping, Millennium Park, etc. We got back to Oak Park around 9p and felt completely safe walking back to Mak's. On Saturday morning, we took another walk around the neighborhood. We missed out on tickets to tour the Frank Lloyd Wright home and studio (just 2 doors down!). Tickets sell out quickly, which we knew, and we didn't plan ahead, which we should have. We drove downtown knowing we would be heading home from there and found easy all-day parking for $12 through Parking Panda. The coach house is really beautiful, and Mak is an exceptional host who clearly pays attention to every little detail - fresh flowers, a welcome basket full of goodies, mini-fridge stocked with all sorts of beverages and yogurt, fresh muffins in the morning. Honestly, above and beyond! The space is roomy and bright. I slept in the bedroom - double bed, firm mattress, awesome sheets. The kids slept on the giant bean bag in the main room and on the couch. Mak had set up a single air mattress in the loft (which we didn't use), and there was an additional air mattress we could have used. The bathroom has a great shower! There is a larger size mini-fridge, a small wine cooler, microwave, and coffee maker. Everything we needed! We've used Airbnb several times - New York, Chicago, rural Arkansas, Krakow, Vienna - and Mak's place is now one of our favorites!
DeAnn2016-09-18T00:00:00ZWe had a great experience staying at the Oak Park coach house. It was very clean and beautiful!
Martha2016-11-07T00:00:00ZMak is an amazing host! She made us feel at home. Very hospitable and knowledgeable about the area. The house is comfortable and homey with a relaxing vibe. Explore the neighborhood and nearby restaurants around this lovely coach home. We will definitely be staying here again!
Brandon2016-10-09T00:00:00ZWe had a great experience staying at Mak's place which looks exactly like in the photo . It was clean, comfortable, with everything provided. this place fits perfectly for those who want to stay in a nice and quiet area but not too far from downtown Chicago. I will definitely come back if chance occur!
Komsun2016-10-23T00:00:00ZMak was a superb host. The place is perfect, and beautiful. She thought of everything, and I felt right at home. The coach house had so many unique touches to it, and this will be at the top of my list to stay again when I come back to Oak Park.
Laura2016-09-25T00:00:00ZFantastic location just outside of downtown Chicago and only about 9 miles from O'Hare airport (easy drive) and most of all, super CLEAN! If you are looking for a place 3 doors down from Frank Lloyd Wright's Home & Studio (+ other FLW homes) and near the Hemmingway house in a quant yet convenient area with great shopping and restaurants all within walking distance, this is it! The Hosts were more than accomodating and the digs and supplies were top notch. Great elements, bright light, extra/bonus goodies, and the modern electronics made the stay extra-special! Highly recommend!
Marla2017-01-09T00:00:00ZThis is a find. Architecturally unique with handmade reclaimed furniture being custom made for this new space. I loved the closeness (2 doors down) to the Frank Lloyd Wright house/studio and took time for a tour. Since I was walking, restaurants were about 4 blocks away, and Uber had no trouble finding me. The wifi was great and the TV and sound system amazing. This is place is still a work in progress, but worth a stop.
Curry2016-12-01T00:00:00ZThank you so much for your hospitality! This place was better than advertised. It was clean, comfortable, and beautiful. It is in a great area with quick access to other nice areas of greater Chicago. We would definitely come back and stay again.

She makes us feel like at home. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. The train lines are so close and so close to restaurants, parks. I love the place, the host and the location.
Daniela2016-07-31T00:00:00ZTara's place was great. Really nice location with some good restaurants and a quick walk to the train into town. Communication from Tara was excellent and she was a brilliant host throughout. Even provided us with some much appreciated English Tea. Would recommend highly to anyone visiting Chicago. Oh, and her dog is the cutest!
Edward2016-09-14T00:00:00ZStaying in the Chicago area and close to this great city couldn't be any better than at Tara's place, especially for that price! She's such a lovely person that answered so many questions before I even arrived, and recommended places and things to do for the next stop on my journey, which I really appreciated. The place was very clean and comfortable with everything there that you might need, including a well equipped small kitchen. Although it was a bit noisy in the morning because some buildings and streets in the neighborhood were under construction, you could find very relaxing rest because of the large comfy bed. I highly recommend Tara's home in that beautiful neighborhood to anyone visiting Chicago.
Charis2016-09-17T00:00:00ZExcellent!!! Chicago trip was an adventure where I didn't rent a car and Tara's home is at unbeatable location in oak park, very close to train station. Tara answered all my queries very promptly before booking and arranged a self check-in. During my stay, she kept checking if everything was fine and if she could help in anyway. Room was professionally cleaned and looks exactly same as advertised. Thanks Tara for being such a great host.
Gaurav2016-09-06T00:00:00ZThis is a perfect stay at Chicago, it is far enough from the busy city to get a good rest and enjoy the green suburbs of Chi Town and convenient enough to commute to the Loop (less than 20 min by train), and by doing so enjoying a nice view of Chicago while traveling by train (green line). Oak Park is THE suburb you need to visit if you are interested in Chicago Architecture, just a few homes north is the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, in the very same street of this studio are several examples of the finest Prairie Houses. Also a couple of blocks down is the Unity Temple, one of the American Masterpieces of Modern Architecture! Oak Park besides being an Architectural Jewel, is a very nice neighbourhood with all the services that you'll ever need. Banks, shops, libraries, restaurants, super markets and one of the loveliest streets I have ever been all within walking distance (10 minutes or less walking). Tara is amazing, not only as a host but indeed she is really a great person, she is kind and helpful, you will feel very welcome at her place. Her place is independent from her home so you'll have totally privacy and you'll feel like in your own place. The room and the house in general is very clean and organised, you'll find everything you need in there. The other guest are as well as respectful and clean as you expected to be. If you are a person who likes to live in a quiet, organised, clean and respectful place, this is the place to stay. In the place you'll find an iron board, clean sheets, washing machine, a small kitchenette full equipped, a fridge, tv, comfy sofas, fast internet, nice pressure hot shower and a clean and recent renewed bathroom.
Alejandro2016-09-25T00:00:00ZTara is absolutely amazing human being! She is on top of every little thing regarding your trip-arriving, staying, departing, sightseeing (she saved me a lot of planing time with her suggestions). I'm deeply thankful for contributing to my amazing first Chicago visit.
Georgia2016-09-29T00:00:00ZTara's home was in a lovely neighbourhood and very close to parks, shops and restaurants. We also found public transport was only a short walk away. Tara was extremely helpful in providing extra information about local and city festivals that were happening during our stay and was always prompt with communication about check in and any other questions we had. We didn't have any problems, although the ceiling height was quite low and my boyfriend did bump his head a few times. Overall it was a great place to stay, thanks Tara.
Emma2016-07-21T00:00:00ZTara was a great host and made sure I had everything I needed the moment I arrived. She checked in periodically during my stay to make sure things were okay, and even suggested activities in the area while I was waiting for my friend to arrive. It is a lovely space in a quiet and safe community, perfect after a busy day in the city. We could come and go as we pleased and the other two airbnb guests were friendly and polite. The location may look far from the city, but it's only a 30min CTA ride and well worth the transit time. Will definitely book here again in the future.

Our stay was great. Place is bigger than it looks from the photos. Very comfy and private. Great communications. Bagels, cream cheeses and OJ provided for breakfast. We would stay at Niles place again
beata2016-12-08T00:00:00ZThis was a great place and nice neighborhood. Niles was very accommodating, kind, and helpful.
vita2017-03-01T00:00:00ZWhat a cute and cozy place! We loved staying here, only wish we had more time to spend in this lovely area of Oak Park. Everything was wonderful and the bagels/cream cheese/OJ in the fridge was appreciated and consumed quickly. Great place and wonderful area. We would love to come back. Thanks so much for your hospitality, Niles!
Jan2016-12-18T00:00:00ZHe was a great host! The place was very cozy and clean. Close enough to the city!
Susan2016-12-13T00:00:00ZI like his place! he is nice person.. ill come back again..
Milan2015-07-29T00:00:00ZThis was my 2nd stay and it was great, again. The large one bedroom apt has lovely furnishings and is clean, bright and sunny. Niles left food in the fridge and flowers on the table. He makes the stay easy and pleasant. It's in a great area of Oak Park with beautiful homes and easy access to the train to Chicago, shops, etc.
Sarah2016-05-26T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed our stay. Niles is a terrific host, responding to any questions we asked. The location can't be beat. And the unit is clean and private.
Linda and Roy2015-12-13T00:00:00ZNiles was great, he surprised us with basic food in the fridge. The cottage was comfortable, clean and it looks the same as in the pictures. My parents slept in the room and my sister and I in the sofa bed. Take advantage of visiting one of Nile's recommended restaurants. We went to Delia`s kitchen both days we were there, they have great breakfast and very friendly staff. Thanks Niles.

Jeanne is a great host. Very thoughtful, from the breakfast items left out for us, coffee machine prepped to brew coffee for us in the morning, to great advice for driving to our class and using the public transport. The house is beautiful and the neighborhood is very safe with walkers and cyclists around all hours of the day. The walk to the L is easy. The neighborhood has nice restaurants, a Starbucks, very cute toy store and beautiful architecture. Jeanne and Kevin went above and beyond to make sure we could spread out, relax and enjoy our stay. I would highly recommend their house for visitors to Chicago and surrounding areas.
Karien2015-09-23T00:00:00ZThis home is in the heart of Oak Park. It's historic and has many details that give it charm. We were able to walk everywhere, with the option to drive. We walked to the El daily and enjoyed the short journey there, walking through the historic district of Oak Park. We saw Frank Lloyd Homes and Earnest Hemmingway's birth place all while walking to the El. Perfect experience! Would do it again without hesitation.
Angela2016-11-18T00:00:00ZBeautiful house and wonderful hosts, made us feel very at home. Only two blocks from the Frank Lloyd Writing home and studio museum, (worth the tour). Easy walk from the Green Line for easy access to downtown. The Oak Park neighborhood center is charming with fabulous restaurants. Bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend.
Richard2016-06-07T00:00:00ZI loved staying at Jeanne and Kevin's. They were wonderful hosts who I really enjoyed getting to know, and their dog Sophie was so sweet. The room was exactly as described (the bed was so comfortable I hardly remember lying down before I fell asleep) and I felt incredibly welcome, safe, and comfortable my entire stay. There was coffee and tea available to me anytime and an impressive array of breakfast options in the morning! In a city that practically begs you to walk around and see its history and beauty, this house is close to everything. I was within a 5-10 minute walk of restaurants, shops, the Frank Lloyd Wright house and studio, the Hemingway museum, and more. I am already planning my next trip to the area and will definitely be back!
NancyandWendy2015-12-08T00:00:00ZJeanne and Kevin were great hosts. From the hot coffee in the morning, bottled water and fresh fruit following our morning walk, we enjoyed our stay in their home. Since we travel to the area often, we hope they will welcome us back.
Brenda2016-08-29T00:00:00ZNice High water-head on Shower for 6-footers like us
Ted2016-08-22T00:00:00ZJeanne & Kevin were excellent hosts! They had everything ready at our arrival and welcomed us into their beautiful home. The Oak Park neighborhood is very peaceful and scenic, and our hosts had great recommendations of local restaurants and sights. The ideal place to stay if you are a Frank Lloyd Wright fan! It is also only a short train ride from downtown Chicago - we would definitely stay with them again the next time we are in the area. p.s. their dog is very sweet :)
Kaitlin2016-09-15T00:00:00ZFrom the minute I arrived, I was made to feel welcome. I was very unwell at the time, and Jeanne looked after me beautifully. She took great care in making sure I was okay, even offering to drive me to the hospital if required. I couldn't have asked for better hosts than Jeanne and Kevin. Their home is absolutely beautiful and has a lovely ambience. If you are a Frank Lloyd Wright devotee like me, then you cannnot go past staying here. Everything about my stay here was perfect (apart from my unfortunate state of illness). I would recommennd Jeanne and Kevin to everyone. They are 5-star hosts and I would happily welcome them into my own home at any time.

We had a wonderful stay at Kim's home. The location was great - Oak Park is a beautiful area with great dining close by. The house is a short 5min walk to the L, 20min train ride to downtown Chicago. Had everything we (group of 4) needed for a 5 day stay, the apartment was homely and very comfortable. Highly recommend.
Megan2016-07-08T00:00:00ZThis is our first airbnb experience. Kimberly received us and sent us off. She is very friendly and gave a few things when we asked like a blender and a ladle etc. She is helpful about the neighborhood things. The home is very comfortable, pleasant and well lighted. It is two blocks from a grocery store and a green line station. It is very quite, even though it is on a busy street. We are very happy, and if we get a chance we will stay in the same house.
vj2016-05-08T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely week-long stay. Everything was as described. A beautiful old Victorian home, very convenient to the Green Line L, Ridgeland Commons pool and park, grocery store, and all the historic sites in Oak Park. Kimberly even left us some breakfast foods, drinks, and a bottle of wine. Everything you need is included. Cannot recommend enough!
Kerry2016-08-09T00:00:00ZThe apartment description and pictures are accurate. It is spacious and the location is great. It is a short walk to a large grocery store, Farmer's Market, and a Yoga Center. The walk downtown is a little further but very pleasant. The neighborhood is safe and walkable. Going for a walk was never boring given the beautiful old homes that are located on every street. My husband and I rented the apartment for one month and throughout our visit Kim made us feel welcome and was available to answer questions. So if you are looking for a spacious well equipped apartment with private off street parking this is the place. Parking regulations in Oak Park can be complicated so having off street parking was a great benefit.
Kathy2016-10-26T00:00:00ZKimberly was a great host and her place was as great as the listing and other reviews suggest. She met me upon arrival and walked me through the apartment. I was pleasantly surprised the fridge was stocked with breakfast essentials. When I realized I needed an iron and there wasn't one in the apartment, Kimberly was quick to offer hers and bring it down. Ample room and a great place from which to explore Oak Park!
Alex2015-12-14T00:00:00ZA great base from which to explore Oak Park and Chicago. Plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. Easy check in coordination and nice hospitality. The neighborhood is lovely to walk around and the train is just a few blocks away. Glad we found this place!
Aaron2015-11-17T00:00:00ZKimberly was so understanding of our situation and in our communication made us feel taken care of and welcomed. She was literally waiting outside to greet us as we arrived. She had great suggestions regarding eateries, and her home was beautifully appointed.
Maria2016-06-25T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed our stay at Sunny Victorian Garden Oasis. It was a great location. Very close to the train and grocery store (walking distance). I would recommend her place. Kimberly was welcoming from the first moment she accepted our request to stay at her home. She was very responsive to any and all questions. Even though she was not able to meet us on arrival, she was able to give us clear directions on how to enter the property. The place was clean and inviting. The home is an older Victorian home in a beautiful neighbor. Even through the water pressure in the home isn't the best it would not deter me from staying at her place again.

I stayed with Jeanne and Kevin for a week while taking a class and I had the best experience! Their home was beautiful and comfortable and the family was warm and welcoming. The location in Oak Park was amazing... I felt super comfortable walking around by myself and going on a jog in the early morning or making my way back from the train at night. There are tons of restaurants, cafes, and ice cream shops to walk to. The homes in this neighborhood are amazing, so I usually just grabbed coffee and walked around. Jeanne and Kevin were so kind and even invited me to join them for dinner. Their dog, Sophie, is so sweet and was really good keeping me relaxed! had a fantastic time!
Montana2016-08-16T00:00:00ZGreat contact with Jeanne prior to my arrival made my stay very relaxed. The accommodations were wonderful, the bathroom across the hall was beautifully updated, the bedroom was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. I needed a convenient location over the weekend and their home was situated perfectly between the suburbs and downtown Chicago.
Ann2016-11-01T00:00:00ZGreat place! Would highly recommend to others in town for a short trip
Dietta2016-10-17T00:00:00ZJeanne and Kevin's place is easily walkable to a sweet little town with cute shops and plenty of places to dine. The neighborhood is charming, and the house itself is beautiful. The room is comfortable too!
Mary2016-10-11T00:00:00ZJeanne and Kevin were awesome hosts. They waited for me even though I was running a bit late. Their house is stunning, and the room is adorable. Location was also great, and allowed me to explore Oak Park and what had to offer during the weekend. Bed was comfortable and restroom was right off the room. It's a truly bed and breakfast feeling. Will definitely stay again next time I'm in the area.
Luis2015-11-16T00:00:00ZI very much enjoyed my stay with Jeanne and Kevin in their beautiful home in Oak Park. Upon my arrival, Jeanne gave me a tour, and was helpful in terms of pointing me towards the train, and making sure I had everything I needed, including fresh, cold bottles of water to go. The bedroom is large and comfy, and everything is clean and stylish. In the morning, Jeanne and Kevin provided a continental breakfast and coffee, which was perfect before I headed off to my conference. I had a lovely chat with them one evening when I came home, and they are extremely welcome to spending time with their guests and getting to know them (with the help of their dog, Sophie!). I absolutely would stay at Jeanne and Kevin's place again. They are in prime location in Oak Park, only a few blocks away from the Hemingway birth home and museum, and about a 10 minute walk from downtown Oak Park in one direction, and a 25 minute walk (or short cab ride) away from Dominican University in the other direction. Thank you for hosting me!
Jenna2016-07-22T00:00:00ZThis is the best experience ever. Jeanne is so kind and sweet that I just feel I don't wanna leave her place. The room is so comfortable and the lovely dog Sophie is the best friend! I'm sure I'll come back and I just wanna recommend Jeanne to all of my friends! Kindest host ever!
Coco2015-10-24T00:00:00ZGreat experience. Everything was perfect. Clean room, breakfast in the morning. Kevin and Jeanne are really nice. The neighborhood is very safe, public transport friendly, and really cute.

Ekaterina2016-09-13T00:00:00ZIt was very nice staying at Phyllis and John's house. The room was small but comfortable. It was really nice that the guests are allowed to use everything in the house like drinks, food or TV even if Phyllis and John are not at home. =)
Steffen2015-06-26T00:00:00ZGreat value for the price! Comfortable bed, very friendly hosts! Beautiful neighborhood.

Michelle2016-11-06T00:00:00ZPhyllis and John were great! I enjoyed meeting them. All I needed was available. The room was cozy and just perfect! Love the location too!
Cynthia2016-07-11T00:00:00ZIt was a pleasure meeting Phyllis and her husband. Everything was as advertised and her instructions were pretty detailed which helped on my first night when arrived late. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you
Luis2015-08-03T00:00:00ZThe Frick's were wonderful hosts. They gave detailed instructions and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The room was just as described/pictured. The neighborhood is beautiful… an incredible place to walk and enjoy the lush streets and amazing homes. The Frank Loyd Wright Home and Studio are just a few blocks away and a few blocks further is a wonderful downtown area.

Beautiful house. Clean and has everything we need.
Zihe2016-11-26T00:00:00ZMy friends and I had such a great time staying at Cory's. The pictures are accurate. The host was very welcoming and easy to communicate with. The house was clean, spacious, and neat. The hosts also provided us with snacks, beer and wine. Definitely a great place to stay!
Jason2016-11-24T00:00:00ZThis home is well-captured in the photos; very tasteful and comfortable. It was a great setting for a family holiday visit. Cory responded to all inquiries very promptly which made it easy to understand parking, figure out what we wanted to bring along for holiday meals, etc. We enjoyed the holiday decor which made things very festive and the kitchen was well-equipped with lovely dishes, glassware, etc. A great value!
Kris2016-12-29T00:00:00ZThe host was very welcoming. She mentioned there was white wine for us to drink if we wanted it -- and she left a detailed note of local places to visit or restaurants at which to eat. The listing description was accurate and the neighborhood was lovely. We appreciated the convenience of being only a block or two away from the train station and took the train several times into the city to do some sightseeing.
Jeanne2016-09-23T00:00:00ZWe really loved Cory and Benjamin's house. They were very friendly and the house was absolutely gorgeous. I would definitely stay there again the next time I'm in Chicago!
Shela2016-05-25T00:00:00ZCory's place was very clean and extremely inviting. The apartment was beautifully decorated and it was located in a very cool neighborhood which was super close to shops and little restaurants which was perfect. It always was a short über / Lyft ride away from down town. I would defiantly stay there again when visiting Chicago.
Heather 2016-06-12T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed our stay at this charming home. The owners were very welcoming and made the process super easy. The home looks just like the pictures with a ton of space, great high ceilings and was very comfortable. It is a 10 minutes or so drive away from the city. We would definitely stay here again.
Debra2016-06-24T00:00:00ZCory was a great host! Would stay at this property again

I stayed with the Fricks for 5 days. The room was large, clean and accommodating. The bed was very comfortable. I had no problem setting up my computer with the provided empty surge protector and the wi fi connection was fast. If you want it, there is a lot of privacy since you usually have the entire floor to yourself. The bathroom is a decent size also. You should like dogs to stay here since every time you return it's a reason for them to celebrate and cavort. Phyllis was accessible, friendly, and accommodating. I didn't see much of her or John since our schedules didn't seem to overlap much. I have no hesitation in recommending the Fricks'. It's near a lot of great places to see and eat and the hospitality is all you could possibly ask for.
Dave2014-05-19T00:00:00ZThe Frick's house in Oak Park is a fantastic location, literally a few minutes walk from the Frank Lloyd Wright house and studio, and central to the area of Oak Park with many examples of FLW architecture. The house itself is very comfortable and the hosts were more than willing to allow use of the kitchen, lounge and TV room areas, as well as their BBQ on the rear decking area. The bedroom is spacious enough and has a desk suitable for a notebook. The wifi access is reliable and fast. The bed is very comfortable. The separate bathroom is just across a hallway. Parking in the driveway was no problem. There are two very friendly dogs in the house and anyone who likes dogs will feel right at home. If you are not a dog person then it will be a problem because the dogs have the run of most of the house and you are in their territory! I enjoyed throwing the ball for the border collie in the back yard. The Fricks are both very busy people and were not often home during our stay of three days. However when they were at home they were very gracious hosts, happy to have a conversation without being intrusive.
Mark2014-06-14T00:00:00ZThe house is extremely cozy and well decorated. The two dogs are very friendly as well. You get a lot of privacy with your own bathroom and floor.
Keeley2016-10-18T00:00:00ZPhyllis and John are very nice hosts. The area is so nice, you could even stay for sightseeing in Oak Park instead of going downtown. We really enjoyed strolling through the lovely and historical neighborhood. Thanks to the hosts who made everything go very smooth and uncomplicated.
Martin2014-08-02T00:00:00ZPhyllis and John were wonderful hosts. The house is in a lovely residential neighbourhood with very secure drive way parking. Only a short walk to the Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio. It took us about 20 minutes to walk to the train to get to downtown - however there were also bikes available if you prefer not to walk. The room was clean and bed very comfortable. The hosts also had lots of suggestions for places to eat and things to do. An added bonus was the two lovely dogs. I would definitely recommend staying here while visiting Chicago.
Anna2016-09-27T00:00:00ZGreat spot, kind, flexible hosts, terrific bed, would definitely recommend.
Michèle2017-02-19T00:00:00ZI had a very enjoyable stay at John and Phyllis' home. Although I sadly didn't get to meet Phyllis due to a family emergency, John was very friendly and accommodating to any need I had. The house was overall very clean, and there is a screen for privacy between the rented rooms, private bathroom and the rest of the house. As they mention in their listing, they have two very friendly but larger dogs. And although they don't bark much, they might playfully jump towards you to show affection. If you are visiting the Frank Lloyd Wright house, this is a very convenient listing, as it is only two blocks away. If you have a rental car, they will accommodate you with driveway parking. I would definitely consider a return visit to John and Phyllis' home.
Wes2016-04-10T00:00:00ZThe neighborhood in Oak Park was absolutely gorgeous and only a short walk away from the Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio. Easy access to downtown via public transit as well. Phyllis and John were both great hosts and extremely helpful in directing us to the best places to eat in town, as well as the easiest routes to take in order for us to reach our destinations in town. Wonderful experience!

Her house was amazing. We had access to the entire 3rd floor including our own fridge and microwave. She was really sweet and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again!!
erika2016-08-11T00:00:00ZSeamus was so welcoming it felt like we were meeting up with family. He showed my kids how to catch the chickens and then walked us to a neighbor's house where my kids got to feed goats that live at a house right in the city. I knew my kids would love it- and they sure did. The third floor slept my family of 5 easily. We did wish one of the rooms in our suite had a TV as the listing stated because we wanted to watch March Madness basketball and instead had to find a restaurant showing it. Overall we had an excellent experience and would return again!
Lynn2016-03-23T00:00:00ZSeamus was a great host! He helped us get settled in and gave us some pointers for the city and things to do. His loft is very cute and cozy. I stayed with my boyfriend and his brother and we had our own private areas with a little shared space in between that had a bunch of cool books. I think my favorite thing was coming home every time and always finding his dog on the couch being a total cutie. Overall great stay, and only about 15 min away from everything in the city. Thank you Seamus!
Carolina2016-08-05T00:00:00ZMy experience was great. The house was beautiful and Seamus was very welcoming. I chose this place due to its proximity to my friend, but it exceeded my expectations in every possible way. I was staying here with a friend and we basically had the whole third floor to ourselves, packed with everything from a microwave, fridge and towels to books. This will definitely be my place of choice to stay anytime I am in Chicago. I got a chance to know Seamus and his lovely family; Tracey, Charlotte and the dogs, I wish I hung out more at the house and spent more time with them. I extremely recommend this place, it has everything you need and everything you desire.
Mohamed2014-01-12T00:00:00ZSeamus and Tracy were very friendly and welcoming, and their house was a great home base for our stay in Chicago. Their third floor suite was super comfortable, convenient, and quiet. It was very easy to get around via the Green line from the Austin station, just a few blocks from the house. We had a lovely stay. Plus their dogs were friendly and very sweet. Thanks for hosting!
Emily2014-06-27T00:00:00ZThe host is very friendly and flexible. The room is enough for up to 6 people, it is clean and safe.
Fiona2016-06-08T00:00:00ZWe absolutely enjoyed staying with Seamus! The private suite was the top floor of his home, and was even more spacious than I imagined (we had four people in our group and there was plenty of room and sleeping accommodations for all). The house is a short walk to the green line station, which can be taken straight into downtown Chicago. Our flight coming in was delayed 4 hours, and Seamus checked in on us frequently to make sure we were okay throughout the process. When we finally arrived, he let us settle in, and then, knowing we were wiped from a long day of travel, offered to drive us to the nearest deep dish pizza place to kick off our Chicago trip. Super nice and we were so appreciative to be in good hands! I highly recommend staying here!
Chau2015-09-30T00:00:00ZSeamus's place was a welcome haven in our busy schedule. We felt safe and the place is situated in a nice neighborhood, not too far from Oak Park which was also a great place to visit and have brunch. We took Lyfts to downtown very easily.

Americans on the future of science and technology: meh | Bryan Alexander - 2 views
our expectations are generally unexcited and restrained. The bold imagination of 20th-century American visions seems to have gone for a nap. As Smithsonian's article notes, "Most Americans view the technology- driven future with a sense of hope. They just don't want to live there." We're actually less excited than that
- 66% think it would be a change for the worse if prospective parents could alter the DNA of their children to produce smarter, healthier, or more athletic offspring.
- 65% think it would be a change for the worse if lifelike robots become the primary caregivers for the elderly and people in poor health.
- 63% think it would be a change for the worse if personal and commercial drones are given permission to fly through most U.S. airspace.
- 53% of Americans think it would be a change for the worse if most people wear implants or other devices that constantly show them information about the world around them. (emphases in original)
When it comes to specific emerging technologies we often greet them with broad, deep skepticism and fear, including human genetic engineering, robotics, drones, and wearable computing:
The heroic days of NASA in the popular imagination are long flown: "One in three (33%) expect that humans will have colonized planets other than Earth." Indeed. a few more Americans actually see teleportation happening.

Francisco de Goya Self-Portrait 1771-75 Oil on canvas, 58 x 44 cm Private collection
When, at 13, Goya began to learn the craft of painting, no one could have foreseen that he would one day become one of the greatest painters of Spanish - and European - art. Even when he traveled to Italy in his mid-twenties and later earned a modest living as a church painter in Saragossa, there was no hint of the extraordinary career that awaited him. Little is known about Goya's youth or the roots of his work as an artist. If his later comments are to be believed, in his youth he was a tough good-for-nothing who was not afraid to test his courage in the bullring. He pursued his career as a painter proudly and self-confidently, even though the Royal Academy in Madrid refused to acknowledge his work. He made a name for himself in the provinces, made contacts among influential people, and disciplined himself to complete his commissions - some of them large ones - to the satisfaction of his patrons. He also painted portraits and made a number of etchings.

Youth and Apprenticeship On March 30, 1746, Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes came into the world in the village of Fuendetodos, in the province of Aragon. This was the native province of his mother's family: Gracia Lucientes came from the lower ranks of the landed gentry. During the 18th century, one Spaniard in seven belonged to the broad layer of the populace classed as "aristocracy." These were the hidalgos, a word derived from the expression hijo de algo, which translates literally as "somebody's son." Among the aristocratic attitudes inherited by the hidalgos were their pride, their keen sense of honor, and disdain for any form of physical work, though they were frequently completely without means. Goya's family, too, appears to have lived in fairly impoverished circumstances. When his father, Jose Goya, died, he left no will, apparently because he had nothing of value to bequeath. The family lived in Fuendetodos only briefly, soon moving back to the provincial capital, Saragossa, where Goya's father had been a member of the highly respected Goldsmith's Guild. Here, Goya attended the classes of the pious Pater Joaquin at the Escuelas Pias, a church institution. He befriended a classmate, Martin Zapater, who was to remain his closest friend throughout his life. At 13 he began his apprenticeship to the painter Jose Luzan (1710-1785). Luzan, a church painter who was much in demand, had traveled to Italy in his youth and, while in Naples, had adopted the contemporary style of the Italian Late Baroque. He handed on this traditional concept of art to his pupils by having them patiently copy engravings of the works of great masters. Naturally they also learned the craft of painting, grinding colors, and preparing canvases, but there was no question of developing individual artistic expression. The aim was to copy acknowledged models faithfully. During his four-year apprenticeship with Luzan, Goya also got to know his contemporary and competitor, Ramon Bayeu, and the latter's brother, Francisco, whom he later described as his teacher. There is, in fact, little doubt that Francisco Bayeu (1734-1795), who was soon to begin a dazzling career, was at that time Goya's principal model. In 1762, Bayeu was called to Madrid to work with Anton Raphael Mengs, a German painter working in Spain, decorating the royal palace. A few years later, Bayeu rose to become court painter and created several extensive cycles of frescoes. By comparison, Goya initially failed to achieve recognition from the artistic circles in Madrid. In 1763 and 1766 he traveled to the capital to take part in the three-yearly competition at the Academy, but did not receive a single vote. In 1773, however, he married the 26-year-old Josefa, the sister of the Bayeus, and this close relationship with the influential Bayeu family would prove to be highly advantageous to his career.

Bernardo Bellotto Capriccio with the Coliseum ca.1743 Oil on canvas 95x89 cm Parma, Galleria Nazionale In the 18th and 19th centuries, the ruins of classical Rome were a great inspiration to artists, who traveled to Rome from all over Europe to study the antiquities.
Early Works Goya twice participated unsuccessfully in the competition held every three years by the Madrid Academy of Art, the first prize for which was a bursary in Rome. A career as an artist was unthinkable without academic recognition, and a study trip to Italy was every artist's dream. Only in Italy, above all in Rome, could one study the masterpieces of antiquity, the paintings of both Raphael and Michelangelo , the art of the Italian Baroque. Goya decided to travel to Italy at his own expense. Very few paintings by him are extant from the period prior to his journey. Among these are two small paintings in which he recorded political events of the time in a rapid, sketch-like style: the Esquilache uprising in Madrid and the expulsion of the Jesuits. During his trip to Italy, Goya stayed in Rome for approximately a year and managed to earn a living by painting. He made contact with other artists and took the opportunity to study the technique of fresco painting. In this type of painting on walls, color is applied to fresh plaster just before it dries, a technique that requires confidence and a very sure hand. The Baroque ceiling paintings in the churches of Rome are among the finest examples of this technique.
Francisco de Goya The Dream of St. Joseph 1770-1772 Oil on plaster, transferred to canvas 130x95 cm Saragossa, Museo de Bellas Artes It was probably soon after his journey to Rome that Goya completed his first major commissions cycle of religious frescoes in the chapel of the Sobradiel Palace in Saragossa. In The Dream of St. Joseph, the angel calls on St. Joseph not to abandon his pregnant wife, the Virgin Mary. The diagonal composition of the painting was adopted by Goya from an engraving of a painting by the French painter Simon Vouet. Goya had learnt this common practice of copying existing works during his apprenticeship, from his teacher Luzan. The paintings were later removed from the wall and transferred to canvas.
In Italy, Goya was also finally able to win a measure of academic recognition. In 1771 he entered the competition at the renowned Parma Academy with a painting on the theme of Hannibal Contemplating Italy for the First Time, From the Alps, a typical academic theme for history paintings of the time. The jury praised Goya's light brush strokes and the expressive representation of the figures - but did not award him first prize. Towards the end of 1771 he returned to Spain. After a period of time spent in Italy, the then 25-year-old painter would be able to count on a number of important commissions, at least among influentual patrons in the provinces.
Francisco de Goya Hannibal Contemplating Italy for the First Time, From the Alps 1771
Rococo and Classicism in Spain
Beauty is a most difficult art, and till now, no artist has lived who could lay claim to having perfect taste in all things. Anton Raphael Mengs
New trends in art When Goya began his career as a painter art was not thriving in Spain. Mediocrity and academic routine had prevailed since the Golden Age of Spanish painting, the century of Velazquez, Murillo, and El Greco. To instill fresh impetus into Spanish art, King Charles III called two of Europe's leading art figures to his court Anton Raphael Mengs and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Mengs arrived from Rome on October 7,1761; and a few months later the Venetian Tiepolo responded to the Spanish king's invitation to decorate the rooms in his new palace in Madrid. While Tiepolo, the aging Venetian master, embodied the declining age of Rococo painting, the 33-year-old Mengs was the leading representative of early Classicism. Conceptually and stylistically, the two artists could not have been more different. The highly cultivated Mengs quickly assumed a prominent role in artistic circles in Madrid, and his opinion determined the tastes of the day. He not only accepted artistic commissions, he also reformed the Academy of Art, became director of the Royal Tapestry Manufactory, and promoted young talent. He probably became aware of Goya through Bayeu, who was working under Mengs on the decoration of the royal palace in Madrid. In 1774 Mengs called Goya to the capital as a designer for the Royal Tapestry Manufactory. This was the first important step in Goya's career.
Mengs and Neoclassicism Born in Bohemia, Mengs (1728-1779) began his brilliant career in Italy. Celebrated as one of the finest artists of his period, he spent the greater part of his life in Rome. Here he got to know Johann Joachim Winckelmann, the German art historian who had revived an interest in classical Greece, and worked to achieve a renewal in painting modeled on both antiquity and the Italian Renaissance. In addition to classical sculpture and frescoes, many artists based their work on 16th-century Italian painting, particularly the works of Raphael and Titian. With their even brush strokes and clear, balanced composition, Meng's detached, well-planned paintings were a conscious rejection of the highly decorative and often overblown art of the Baroque. He also developed a reputation as a portrait painter, his smooth, elegant likenesses satisfying the tastes and aspirations of the courtiers who commissioned them. His Portrait of Charles III, which shows the king in the classical pose of the sovereign, in armor enlivened by a red sash, was copied several times as the definitive portrait of the king. Even Goya used the same bearing and profile when he was later commissioned to paint the king in hunting dress. In 1777, his health failing, Mengs returned to Italy.
Anton Raphael Mengs Portrait of Charles III 1761
Tiepolo and the Rococo Compared with the dynamic and versatile Mengs, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696-1770) was not able to make his mark at the Spanish court. Hedid indeed decorate the most important rooms in the Madrid royal palace with his ceiling paintings, but apart from this major commission his art had little appeal in Spain. Tiepolo had won his fame as a leading international Rococo fresco painter through his painting schemes in the palaces and churches of Venice and in the Residenz (bishop's palace) in Wurzburg. With his son Giovanni Domenico, he created his last great masterpiece in Madrid's Palacio Real. The large-scale ceiling paintings in the throne room and the audience room, allegories exalting the Spanish monarch, carry the observer into a completely ethereal world (right). His frescoes provide a glimpse of the infinity of the heavens, a world flooded with clear light and filled with groups of figures floating on white clouds. The alternating areas of light and shade enhance the effect of depth in the painting, and bright, luminous colors lend a radiant, festive atmosphere to his vast, masterly designs.

Goya and the art of his time Mengs and Tiepolo encompass the range of artistic expression prevalent in the late 18th century. Goya undoubtedly studied both with interest, though there is hardly any direct evidence of Neoclassical or Rococo influence in his work: he distanced himself from the prevalent stylistic trends at an early stage in his career. His later works, with their energetic, free-flowing brushwork, have a specifically anti-classical effect. Towards the end of his life, he created a cycle of somber frescoes that contrast profoundly with Tiepolo's luminous visions.
Church Painter in Saragossa
Nuestra Senora del Pilar, Saragossa Photograph According to legend, the Virgin appeared to St. James in Saragossa and gave him a pillar (Spanish pilar) for this pilgrimage church, which had been dedicated to her. From 1771 the church, dominated by its eleven domes, was decorated with new frescoes. The decoration took ten years to complete, and involved several of the most highly regarded painters in Spain.
Francisco de Goya Head of Angel 1772 Crayon 41.5x34 cm Madrid, Prado The drawing is a study for one of the two angels standing on the left of the fresco opposite. For this drawing Goya copied an engraving of an original drawing by Raphael.
In the autumn of 1771, immediately on his return from his travels in Italy, Goya applied for his first important commission, painting one of the vaults in the cathedral of Nuestra Sefiora del Pilar in Saragossa. The committee of works requested him first to complete a study that was to be approved by the Madrid Royal Academy. But Goya's design was so powerful that they decided to do without the approval of the Academy. With a helper to grind the colors, he went straight to work on the fresco. He was now able to show that he had not wasted his time in Italy. The fresco's well-balanced composition, the impression of depth and space, and the warm, glowing colors are strongly reminiscent of Late Baroque ceiling paintings in Italy. There is hardly any sign of individual style, though the slightly sketchy technique is noticeable. Some degree of uncertainty in the representation of figures is also apparent. Quickly earning a sound reputation as a painter of religious frescoes, Goya completed various commissions in the churches of Saragossa and the surrounding areas. During the 18th century, the Church was the most important source of commissions for paintings after the court, since it had enormous wealth at its disposal. Its power, prestige, and influence were almost limitless; whether beggar or king, anyone who met a priest carrying the consecrated host had to kneel in veneration. Goya could now live very well from his income; at the age of 27 he was earning almost as much as his teacher Luzan. In 1774 he painted his most extensive cycle of murals in the isolated Carthusian monastery of Aula Dei. They were painted in oil applied directly to the walls, and cover a total area of almost 240 square meters (about 2,580 square feet). Largely forgotten for many years, this cycle on the life of the Virgin Mary is nevertheless among the most interesting of Goya's early works, in spite of its poor condition. Mengs was so taken with the compositions that he had copies of them made.
Francisco de Goya Adoration of the Name of God 1772 Fresco ca.7x 15 m Saragossa, Nuestra Senora del Pilar Angels are massed on banks of clouds that form a triangular space of celestial sky in which hovers the name of God written in Hebrew. In this very Baroque composition the impression of depth is created by the way in which the figures grow smaller the further away they are. In the distance, the angels almost seem to dissolve in the light. The broad brush strokes used here will also characterize Goya's later work.
Francisco de Goya Circumcision of Christ 1744 Oil on plaster 31 Ox 520 cm Saragossa, Cartuja de Aula Dei Goya developed a completely new style for the frescoes in the church of the Carthusian Aula Dei monastery.In a background of landscape and architectural features, cloaked figures in ample robes are caught in a stately rhythmic movement. Broad areas of light and shade pick out the figures. Of the original eleven paintings.sevenare still extant.

HARRISON – One woman suffered burns and a log home was destroyed by a fire that broke out around 2:20 p.m. Sunday.
Town Manager George "Bud" Finch said the 1 1/2-story cabin at 600 Naples Road was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.
Two people — Allison Flagg, a friend of the home's owner, Steven Fogg of Harrison, and Fogg's teenage daughter, Linden — were inside the cabin when the fire started in the kitchen. They escaped, but Flagg suffered burns to her head and was taken to a local hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Steven Fogg was not home when the fire started.
According to Finch, the state Fire Marshal's Office was notified, but the fire is not considered to be suspicious.
Finch said Fogg is well-known in the Harrison community. He and his daughter were to spend Sunday night with relatives.
Firefighters were about to leave the fire scene when a call for a second fire came in at 4:55 p.m.
Finch said the second fire, at 249 Scribners Mill Road, started near the chimney and was contained to the ceiling area.

Get or go?
Get and go have similar meanings, when talking about travel or motion. When we use get, we emphasise arrival:
We'll phone you as soon as we get to Rome.
We'll phone you as soon as we go to Rome.
The thing is, he missed the bus and got to school late and missed part of the match.
Not: …
and went to school late and…
We use get on and get off not go on and go off for buses, trains, planes:
When I got on the plane, there was someone sitting in my seat.
When I went on the plane…
Liam will be waiting for me when I get off the train.
Not: …
when I go off the train.
Get up means 'leave your bed in the morning'; go up means 'go to a higher place or position':
What time do we have to get up tomorrow?
What time do we have to go up tomorrow?
Get and go are both used to mean 'become', but they combine with different adjectives. We often use get with words like dark, light and late; we use go with colours and words with negative associations such as mad, bald, bad:
It's getting dark now so be careful.
Not: …
going dark…
He's only 30 and he's going bald.
Not: …
and he's getting bald.
We left the milk in the sun too long and it's gone bad.
Not: …
and it's got bad.
However, with some adjectives such as old, sick, tired and ill, we use get:
He got very tired walking to the match in such a large crowd.
He went very tired walking…

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Small businesses and trade unions have a lot more in common than many realise. FSB and TUC have made common cause in the past, for example working together to win the introduction of a national minimum wage rate for apprentices. But we now face a more profound challenge. Following the EU referendum result, we need to get Britain fit for the future. And that means big businesses must start taking their wider responsibilities more seriously. Trust in big business has hit rock bottom, with runaway pay at the top and some industrial-scale tax avoidance.
If we are to make a success of Brexit we need to generate jobs that use people's skills, talents and potential to the full.
