As mentioned below, Traci had the most wonderful weekend catching up with old friends in Chicago/Notre Dame. She started her trip by hanging around in the Chicago suburbs with her buddies, Chad, Lisa, and twins Drew and Sydney (6-years-old). Special thanks to them for their wonderful hospitality (my own suite!), great laughs, and yummy food. She then went on to Notre Dame with old college roomies Carolee, Amy, and Maggie. They spent countless hours reminiscing about simpler times at their old haunts (CJs, Roccos) and walking around campus, agog at all of the changes. They even sneaked their way into the locked doors of their old dorm, Walsh, to relive the experience of the un-air-conditioned dormitory. Certainly our most special time was our visit to the tiny grave of Henry, Maggie's son who passed away in February. He will never be forgotten and he made an extraordinary weekend even more special. Carolee, Amy, Maggie, Henry, and Morgan - thanks for everything...I haven't laughed, cried, listened, and talked that much in a long time. Until next time...And, of course. the biggest thanks has to go to Mike, who made this weekend possible. He not only took care of the kids, but he also cooked, cleaned, finished laundry, ran errands, and grocery shopped. Maybe he should be the one that stays home??? He is my hero!
