We had an exceptional visit today with Cop Car and her Hunky Husband, Bogie’s parents<\/a>, and WichiDude’s in-laws<\/a>.
\nCop Car called on Friday when they made it into the Chicago area, and we agreed that we would meet at one of our favorite restaurants for brunch. I gave them directions, and we discussed how much time they were likely to need, and we rang off. What we didn’t think to do was to describe ourselves so that we would be able to recognize each other in a busy waiting area!
\nIt didn’t matter. I called HH’s phone to see if I could catch them, and as I was turning around, here was Cop Car, ready to give me a hug, should I be the right person. We had a lovely meal, chatting and getting to know each other. I was told that I was unkind to walk her past two tables of dessert on the way back to our table. *G* After the meal, Cop Car rode home with us, and HH took our map, so he could join us later.
\nNot only did she bring me two red bud trees, but she graciously allowed me to show her just about every quilt in the house! That takes patience, and we swapped stories as I put out quilt after quilt. She’s seen the almost-completed top that I talked about at the end of January. I’m working on the borders now, so it should be ready to be quilted soon.
\nCop Car brought us gifts, among them a jar of Bogie’s salsa. I was teasing about that at Bogie’s blog, but we’re glad to have it. We bird watched, and she tried to hear our chickadee’s song, so that she could tell us what kind it was, but the birds were quiet just then.
\nWe chatted away the afternoon, and then went to dinner at an Italian place. I have to be reminded now and then to let others have a chance to talk, so it was a good thing that dinner tasted great. Thanks for dinner, Cop Car and HH! We called it a night just about the time I started complaining about the political debates. They needed to find their way back to the motel for an early start in the morning.
\nGuys, I had a lovely time. You helped me stretch my birthday celebration over several days, and I really enjoyed your visit. We’ll have to make a serious effort to head out your way so we can visit again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
