Sweet Sisterhood


I spent the weekend at my sister's home which is located at the end of the earth, otherwise knows as 'so far south you are in Will County and almost in Indiana'! What a place for a north side girl....Typical sister weekend; drive down, eat out, shop, movie, stay in PJ's until noon, send the coffee slave to get hot lattes, shop, eat-in, drive home. What a weekend!! Her new bathroom is soooo cool, you could learn how to flamenco and bull fight all in the course of a ahem.... (never mind). "Can jew say rojo?" ja, ja, ja.
I was presented with a gift upon arrival. My very own laminated map of Madrid. As usual, NO8DO, "she has not abandoned me"!
You will be with me in every step I take...
Love ya Sis

Golf School Gals



























Flashback to 1962 - Linda Trebels, Nancy Hutchings, Donna Leusch, Gail Kipp, Colleen Gibson, Lorel Marquardt and Bonnie Strege. Young girls never even imagining that the future would bring the banning of the bra. No WAY!!! - we just GOT them.....

Flashforward to 2008 - 46 years later - Egg Harbor Cafe - Everyone is wearing the appropriate undergarments and discussing grandchildren and grandpuppies; enjoying retirement or longing for it; 60th birthday surprizes and 40th wedding anniversaries. Girls we grew up with and then grew away from, rekindling those recess friendships. My thanks to Linda for getting a group together and to everyone else for attending. I thought nothing could top the 29th 8th Grade Class Reunion. Getting to know all of you all over again was a blessing. Hope to see you all soon!
