Friday-Sunday, November 9-11

HAPPY VETERANS DAY  and THANKS to the brave men and women in our military who have served or are serving our country.     God bless you all...

Sooo very proud of Ryan!
 
Off to Galena for the 20th annual sisters' weekend!    Eleven "sisters" traveled up to 5 hours and then enjoyed the weekend in a lovely 5-bedroom home with all the amenities.    Missed you, Sharon!   This area (Galena Territory and part of the Eagle Ridge Inn, Golf Resort and Spa) is sooo pretty with rolling hills, picturesque farms and then the quaint town of Galena with  shops, churches, wineries and much more.    The weather was warm and sunny (unbelievably so for November) and throngs were out strolling the sidewalks and getting a start on their Christmas shopping.
 
Along with non-stop chatter, good eating, wine drinking, playing cards and games, shopping, etc., it was the usual FUN FUN girls time away!   We all went to 5;30 mass at St. Michael's last night and then out for dinner at The Log Cabin.   
 
The Sisters

Mark enjoyed his brother, Jim who visited from St. Louis while Lydia was in Galena.   The weather has taken a drastic change - very windy today and now raining with snow showers possible and temps dropping......
