Hi folks,

Had a quiet day today except for going to Bergners to buy a coffee maker for the shop. I wanted one with a carafe to keep the coffee warm and it was on a good sale. I hate to shop at malls and avoid them like the plague, so I scooted in and back out and went home. 

I won't be coming in to Chicago Sunday, it's just too far with I-90 torn up. Have a great time. I'll try the next one. We all do live really far apart.

i went to a reception yesterday for the new Dean of the Med School where I worked. It was great to see old friends and tell them about my new adventure. Got lots of free marketing! I had such fun! I was there almost three hours! And standing the whole time without a second thought--only realized it later. Thank God for the weight loss!

Hopeyou had a good day!

Hola my Dear Ones,

I am a busy bee today. I am trying to get caught up on my personal life which has been put on a shelf since last week and has been waiting patiently for me to return to it.

Returned a ton of calls, made appointments that are overdue, got the contract signed for my new fence installation and now am trying to return e-mails before I go back to cleaning.

Made a date today for my daughter to come over and finally go through my mom's room with me. It's been 2.5 years and even tho I get verklempt thinking about it, it's time. Since we made the decision to stay in our house instead of selling , I need to open that door and begin using that space again. I'd like to make it a prayer room.

Well, my peeps, I am hoping today fills you with JOY.

Hugs,

Sharon

Ok, after much discussion between myself and Carla, we have agreed to make this a Chicago adventure. I know some of you aren't interested in coming to the city this Sunday, but since Carla has driven so many miles to get here and she is getting back in her car to go home on Tuesday, I wanted to honor her time and the limited time she has with family. Carla is in Logan Square we are going to find a place there. The city has amazing places and I am hoping we can see as many of you as possible. 

We are meeting at 12:30p in Logan Square. Does anyone have any ideas where we can meet for lunch? Who all will be there?
