Saturday - Today we said good bye to our friend Joe whose life we celebrated at a beautiful Mass at St. Jude with wonderful music and homily by Father Patrick Henehan. It was so nice to see several cousins (Jane's siblings) we hadn't seen in a long time. We sat with Allie and Owen and after mass we enjoyed the nice luncheon the ladies provided. Said our good byes to Jane....hope to see her in a few days.
Back on I74 and picked up pie slices (the sisters favorites), stopped at KK to drop off Mark and me to change clothes. By 1:15, I was on my way! Had an awesome weekend (9) of us at the 30th annual Chamberlain Sisters Weekend hosted by Beth and Sharon near Danville. Doris gave Marilyn and me a golf cart ride around the property, we yakked a bit and then off to 5:00 Mass at Holy Family with Father Loftus. Tom (Mark's brother and Beth's hubby) joined us at Mass and we invited him to have dinner with us. So 10 of us in a neat alcove with big table had a wonderful dinner at The Possum Trot - a very nice, huge supper club - highly recommend. Said good bye to Tom who went on home and we headed back to the country.
Karen (Auntie) taught us a new game "Mean 7's" which was a lot of fun and won by Lydia. In years past, we girls would stay up and play games and chat till the wee hours, but not anymore....by 10:30, we were all ready to call it a day!
