I love this photo, because Danielle was so excited to find it. “Pull over!” she yelled. And it looked like Lynnesha’s yard might look; the lawn chairs out front, the neat and humble home. I’m hoping I can get Danielle to tell you what happened when she ran up onto this stranger’s lawn to snap this fantastic picture…

p.s. I just got mentioned in the Chicago Tribune list of 2009 Chicago authors

  1. SO this was a fantastic find! The perfect Lynnesha house and yard complete with comfortable lawn furniture outside. And I hadnt even read the book at that point and was solely going by Jeff’s rapid-fire descriptions.

    So I run up, start taking photos and don’t even realize the owner is hidden, pruning under a huge tree in the adjacent lawn. I immediately, start telling her who the hell I am and what we are doing. She is totally agreeable and even excited. Yano, sometimes people are eager to be supportive, even when trespassing.

    So I tell her who Jeff is, the author and such, point to the car, Jeff waves on cue. I thank her immensely, and we recommend the book ….all was well and creative in the world! and we were off to take more!
