Tom’s sisters, Lynda and Sarah, met me in Naperville, IL for a “sister” reunion from November 3 to November 6th.\u00a0 Lynda and Sarah had checked into our hotel before my arrival so, once I got there, I went directly to our room where we joyously greeted each other.\u00a0 We decided to drive downtown Naperville and explore the area.\u00a0\u00a0 While downtown, we found a Mexican restaurant so we had dinner there.\u00a0 When we returned to the hotel, we spent the rest of the evening talking and catching up with happenings in our lives.\u00a0 The next morning we drove to downtown Naperville and spent the day shopping.\u00a0\u00a0 We had lunch at Giordano’s whose specialty is Chicago style pizza; we did not order the Chicago style but the pizza was delicious!\u00a0 By the end of the day, we were tired so headed back to the hotel.\u00a0 All of us were not very hungry so we walked to a soup\/salad place Lynda and Sarah had ate at the day before; great soup!\u00a0 Being a Chicago Bear fan and the team playing on Monday night football, I had to watch the game; after the game, all of us headed for bed.\u00a0 The weather was rainy the next morning so we decided to go to an indoor mall…at least we thought we were going to an indoor mall.\u00a0 But first we traveled to the Container Store and Crate & Barrel outlet (don’t go, there is not much there).\u00a0 When we got to the mall, we discovered all the stores were not inside and\u00a0 access was only\u00a0 from outdoors.\u00a0 Brrr…it was cold!\u00a0 We ate lunch at the Cheesecake Factory; service was very slow but, once it arrived, food was good.\u00a0 By mid-afternoon, we decided to call it a day on shopping and returned to our hotel.\u00a0 That evening we walked to the St. Louis Bread Co. for a light meal.\u00a0 When we returned to the hotel, we sat in front of the fireplace in the lobby area drinking our wine and talking; it was a very pleasant evening.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, we went to breakfast at the St. Louis Bread Co.; after breakfast, we said our good byes with Lynda and Sarah heading east while I headed west.\u00a0 It was a very pleasant, fun get together and I consider myself lucky to have such wonderful sisters.<\/p>\n
