Friday - we were off again to Hardees (Mark's gift card was waiting to be used and of course, we were happy to oblige (especially my biscuits 'n gravy buddy)! On home till Mark and I picked Lydia up and we were off to RSW and our flight to Chicago.
Lydia packed each of us a little baggie of chips and her delicious blueberry cookie for the flight. How sweet. All went well and we landed at O'Hare with cloudy, dreary, rainy weather - welcome back to IL. Theresa picked us up and off to Kansasville, WI where we were entertained by Doris at her beautiful home on Eagle Lake.
Unfortunately, Janet canceled as she has a horrendous cold. Also missing Beth and Nancy this year. Arrived at Doris's around 5 and enjoyed some yummy appetizers before we left for "Chances Are" and a good ole Friday Night Wisconsin Fish Fry!
Played a fun game with attempting to unwrap a tightly wound (with tape) bottle of wine wearing gloves.....I won!
Saturday - icky poo day weather wise with very strong winds (gusts to 60 mph) and occasional rain. It was balmy, though with 60+ degrees. Usually this time of year on other sisters weekends, it has been very cold and one year, we had snow! As the day went on, the temps dropped but those winds were wild!
Leisurely morning sitting around drinking coffee and then delicious breakfast of sausage/egg/cheese soufflé, fresh fruit and bagels. Auntie Karen was gone all day at a retreat in Rockford. Beth did facetime with us and we had a great visit with her. Played games the rest of the day till time to get ready for church and dinner.
We went to 5:00 Mass at St. Mary's (little country church with Father Joe) and then to Burlington and dinner at Rustic Roots - a charming restaurant in an old building preserved so well. Good dinner, chatter and then back home. Played another game of "Unwrap the Wine" with Joan winning a cabernet. Played a few more games, drank more wine and that ended another fun day!
