Jeannie's place was a welcome respite from a hectic work/study week in downtown Chicago. I could enjoy her enchanting back garden, do yoga in the front parlor in the morning -- with the best light, or study in the spacious guestroom, which had a great study place. Jeannie was a great host, interesting to talk to, and very conscious, too, of giving me space. She went beyond the call of duty and offered me a laptop when I was having trouble with mine. I would come back -- preferably at time purely for relaxing and sight seeing.
