We ate out a lot! Christie treated us to brunch at Mill Race Inn very close to where she lives in St Charles. It was pouring rain, but we had a window seat and it was kinda cool!
We met my friend and piano student Peggy at Village Links Golf Course for lunch.

After church one Sunday, we went to Houlihan's, one of my favorites! I got Stuffed Mushrooms - stuffed with cream cheese - ooo ooo, so scrumptuous, but not my sister's favorite. She got a steak salad
One major event was the wedding of Michael and Julie. Julie was Christie's roomate and Christie was in the wedding. The wedding was at our church.
Julie's Dad giving her away -- I love this picture -- you can see Michael in between them grinning away!

The day after the wedding, we all got together and had pizza!
My sister helped me with a bunch of things while here.
One was to help me organize my dining room closet. AND, when I say organize I DO MEAN ORGANIZE. We went to the Dollar Tree and got all kinds of baskets and containers. And, then came the job of tossing, tossing, tossing. She was really tough on me and made me get rid of bags of stuff I hadn't used. I have to admit it feels great to have less....as they say.....less is more. Here's the result.
She sewed a whole basket full of of things to be mending, helped me organize the kitchen cabinets with baskets and cute new things:
My new MAN!
and new toaster oven
My TV was acting up and we couldn't get proper reception.
Here we are trying to fix it.
I hope you're beginning to see how much fun we had!!

Jonathan fixed this for me by attaching a cable to the antenna on the roof.
Then we tackled the shed!
Exhausted Marcia
I didn't get to do any gardening these three weeks, but everything thrived!
THANK YOU MARCIA!
