One week from today Brett flies into Chicago to establish his new home and life! We are so excited. Next Sat eve, we hope to spend some time sipping wine and catching up with him at DeeDee's home. What a blessing.
Last weekend, several of us Skyped again....Mary and Ed, Jo and Bob,Tom, Pat and myself. It was a real kick to be able to sit down and chat with Bob who has just discovered the joys of the family calls. We tried to connect with Mike but no cigar.. ( Julie had come in last weekend for the shower so we got to talk with Mike on Sat on Skype and received some health reports on both he and Nancy.) Remember you guys , my Skype conference trial period runs out on the 28th of this month so what now?
Martha Bates' 90th birthday is this Monday. Julie and I have Martha's address if either any of you wish to send her a card or whatver. I did hear that Tom called Martha and chatted with her this last week. Ed and Linda...congrats on your wedding anniversary also on Val Day!
Tonight, Pat is heading over to help me put in some new lighting (all my sissies are leaving the house so they do not hear all the swearing that will take place); Mary Jo and Kathe and I are hosting Phil Fleege and his family tonight also. I am starting a big pot of chili soup very soon so it is ready for tonight and we are so happy Phil and Deb and kids are heading our way. Phil now lives about 45 mins north of me here in Westmont. We had originally planned to play cards but we may just yak the night away which will be fun catching up.
Mary and Ed are taking a road trip very soon to see Jo and Bob, Julie , Tom I think? and also the Chicago gang. Hoping the roads are in good shape by that time....going onto the 40 degree mark this week, so hints of Spring you all!
Mary liked my S O C blog so here goes: working full time now, back always a wee bit sore and I sleep a lot but.,...., am so grateful for a furnace...a working furnace; a car....a working car; I am so happy I get to see and talk with my family and live near my Chicago siblings; I love to see how cute Alicia looks right now(in her third trimester); loved being able to do some yoga last night; loved Dana Carvey on Sat Nite Live last week...it was a trip back in time; I actually love the snow and love to walk in the snow; made a most DELICIOUS chicken breast dinner last night (if anyone wants the recipe let me know); hoping I can get my guests tonight suckered into flipping my mattress; have a new cover for my grill but have to wait for the last 2 feet of snow to come off the old on that is out there; Pat is lucky that I assist him in his electrical endeavors today; blah blah blah
Love from PB
