Missing Mommy……

I just got back from my annual gathering with special college friends. Our mini-reunion! We gather for about three days to talk, laugh, visit and just have fun. This time we were near Chicago staying at Linda's in Downer's Grove. Our visit included a drive into the city for a performance of The Million Dollar Quartet, dinner at a German restaurant, exploration of the Chicago Botanical Gardens, a walk to the local farmers market and so much more.

It's just the being together that is so nice for me - a sort of annual therapy session of memories, discussions, sharing. We always go through our suggested list of movies and books. We usually do a "craft" just for fun. We share meals and drink wine and laugh and laugh.

It's all good.

And then I get a text from Dave with the message "I miss you!" accompanied by a photograph. Dave was busy while I was gone…..I guess it was my little four-footed pal who was bored. Sorry Fenway, I'm going again next year!
