About the gifts, let's see, I got some hand painted glasses that I 'stole' from Jeannine. She then got a teddy bear that she says she won't let her 2 year old play with. Since Janet has 10 grandkids, she 'stole' a photo album from Linda, who then got a container of ledgers, note cards, stamps and other goodies. Cyndi got a big container of bath and body products and Cheryl got a goodie bag of gardening things, a chemo-brain car tag to find your car in a parking lot and a small fan for hot flashes. She gave the car tag to Janet since she was the one who has just finished chemo last week. It was a fun gift game! I don't know how long we stayed. It didn't seem like long enough. I'm sure we could have gone on "yacking" for hours. The restaurant was setting up table to get ready for the dinner crowd.

Although lately I'm nervous about driving anywhere. My husband totalled my 2002 Saturn so I bought a 2000 Mustang on Memorial Day. A kid ran a stoplight and plowed into it last Saturday. The body shop couldn't believe it. I must be their best customer. What a nightmare! Catherine

We all had a great time and felt like old friends at our gathering last April. We will be planning a new April gathering this year. I'm not sure of the date or time yet as Tasha has volunteered to plan this one. Last April we had ladies from Michigan, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Illinois, which was a lot of fun and we went to Hackney's on Lake (Glenview, IL) which is a family run restaurant known for their bricks of onions (the best!) and their hamburgers on dark rye. It was so much fun and Sphynx (Nancy) posted the photos right away. We might even have a bigger gathering this time as there seem to be quite a few new Chicago area women who have posted. Catherine

She has shorter hair than I do now. I used to have her same hairstyle until I decided to grow out my hair. I never heard back from her as to whether she thought we looked alike. Maybe it's just that one photo that looks like me. Catherine

Our Evanston Highschool get togethers are there frequently. Anyway, this seems to be an old thread but I would sure like to know about your next get together especially if it is in the summer. What a small world! Hope to hear from someone. Sharron
