Girls' Night Out

We celebrated nothing in particular at the end of November. We got about 20 girls together and rented a limo and painted the town red! You should have seen the bartender's face when we asked for 19 lemon drop shots!

Local Friends

I have had the pleasure of making some fabulous friends since we've been here. Thanks Katie for taking all those pictures when I forgot my camera, which was pretty much always!!!!

Please darling, I tell you...

Allan was able to get back in touch with his friend Jason. They worked together many moons ago at a couple of great restaurants here in Chicago. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet him and I know why they have stayed friends after all these years. I think it has something to do with insanity!

Labor Day weekend 2008

Lynne came to see for Labor Day weekend from Dallas. She enjoyed the departure from the triple digits and humidity. She got to see a lot of the city, and it was great to experience things that I had not done yet. And, what holiday weekend would be complete without a baseball game? I think that was the best part!

Visits from Friends

Our friends from Dallas paid us a visit in August. We spent almost the entire time outdoors. We went to the Whole Foods festival, ate way too much and listened to live music. And then, of course, we had to show them true Chicago pizza, which is never complete without wine!
