Amanda was kind and generous host. I could easily wax poetic about my stay in her home. Rather, I'll declare that easily, this home was a safe haven as country mouse visited city mouse. Tidy, fresh, and artistically adorned, if I'm ever in Chicago again I want this to return! You how there are some people who naturally make you feel welcome and like you are a special, one-of-a-kind guest? That's Amanda.
