COLD here when we got up and surprise, snow on the ground (wasn't expecting that)!!! So, we bundled up and headed to Starbucks for the order Anne had placed over the phone. Streets were slushy and we meandered in Anne's car "carefully".
Went to Westminster Village with our coffees and cheese Danish and a very enjoyable morning with Donna Rae. She is so delightful and her apartment was beautifully decorated by her daughter-in-law, Tammy. Oh my, I got emotional just seeing all her decorations thru the years, several I made. Great visit and then bye bye till May.
Back out in the cold and off to the airport to pick up our rental car. I went back to Anne's, changed clothes and Mark took me to Brenda's for our Monday Night Friends Christmas luncheon. It was lovely and so delicious (soup, salad, sandwich and peppermint/chocolate dessert) + wine and cranberry punch.
We missed Connie who recently passed away, Linda who did not travel with the snowy weather and Tamara who has health issues. Lots of reminiscing and memories from our 50+ year friendship.
Mark picked me up at 3 and we were off to Dixon for the Chamberlain family Christmas. Always a BIG event and we missed last year cause of my injury. Tonight we had pizza and other snacks, but tomorrow more will be coming for the big event.
Watching the Notre Dame vs Indiana game tonight - thinking of Michael and his boys they're having a great time AND freezing! The Irish won 27-17.
Annette went with Luke and his 6th grade classmates to the Biltmore a few days ago. What a great experience and treat for these kiddos.
