Monday - September 11

 Thinking of all the innocent men, women and children who lost their lives 22 years ago today on that horrific 9/11.

We had such a fun day  - we left KK at 8:45 and stopped for a coffee fix at Java Cafe in ElPaso.    Then it started to rain and continued all day long.    We met brother Bob and Linda, cousin Dick and Mary and Aunt Marian at Uptown Grill in LaSalle for lunch - love this place and as always, very good meals and lots of chatter! 

Dick, Mary, Bob, Linda, Aunt Marian, Pat, Mark

After lunch we all went back to Stonecroft where Aunt Marian lives and played euchre.    6-handed (Mary, Dick and Mark beat Aunt Marian, Linda and me 2 games).    Then we played 4-handed - I was a big loser till Mary and I finally won against Aunt Marian and Linda.    Dick and Bob enjoyed putting a puzzle together.  We also enjoyed carrot cake cake roll.

Bob and Dick at work on their puzzle which they finished!
Sweet Aunt Marian (almost 95)!

Said our good byes to Aunt Marian and onto Bob and Linda's.    Dick and Mary stopped in and we had drinks and snacks and more visiting.   

Linda and I chatted some more, enjoyed a small bowl of her homemade chicken noodle soup and called it a day!

Tomorrow we are off to Racine, Wisconsin!
