Sweet Home Chicago

We had the gift of spending time with family and friends during our month in Chicago…..never enough time.…and not enough pictures!
- Sam and I stayed with my Mom and Dad. Just like the old days…..sleeping in my old twin bed.
- Bob stayed with the kids.
- Then a fun weekend in Michigan with the kids and grandkids!

Palatine High School Friday Night Lights. My nephew Gavin is a GREAT saxophone player in the band….and we stood in the front row trying to make him laugh…..not even a smirk from him!!

Then off to Iowa to watch the Hawkeyes….but mostly to see Jack! He plays the trumpet in the Marching Band at Iowa.

It was fun with my sister Susan- we’re both Palatine and Iowa grads!!!

Great amazing friends!

Bob and I celebrated the 25th Anniversary of our first date! WHAT???…..25 years together! Thanks to Paula for fixing us up.

And to continue the fun….I was stung by bees at my Mom and Dad’s and I got poison ivy! Now that’s nothing compared to my Mom getting bit by a rattlesnake when she was in Arizona…..so buck up Richele!
I’m ready to go home.
