Illinois Get Together Lunch Today
What a great day for 4 of us to get together in Oakbrook at the Clubhouse today for lunch...Rina and Ruth we missed you both!
Alyce was there for her 1st time, DonnaD, Melanie aka Chicagoetc, and me....we all ate huge salads....very healthy....after some wild discussions, we may be meeting next month at a tattoo parlor...need I say more?
By the way, the second photo is for you Pink Girl, we couldn't decide what to have for dessert so we got one of each!!!! We will never again go to the Cheesecake Factory without doing the same!!!

I love the pictures. You seem to be having a great time. It must be great to gather with 'sisters' and have fun and talk about so much in common. Even, when I am so far away, I may hopefully meet you some day for lunch in Chicago as I may soon go to visit my friends in the area. God bless you all and let us know when you meet again.

Greetings,

Paty

Thanks for the pictures Sheila. You all look great.
Thanks also for thinking of me at dessert time. I would have had the one in the middle, in the big glass

Hi Sheila-
It was great meeting you and the other ladies. We need all the support we can get. I really liked being able to ask a few questions regarding treatment. It's good to be able to talk about other topics that aren't cancer related too. Like tatoos!
