Finally, finding sisters and Joe who live in the midwest. I do believe we have an adequate number of us for bonding, laughing, drinking and eating. Who would like to meet in Chicago for lunch. I was thinking the 3rd Saturday in October. Depending on who is coming and where you are coming from would determine location for our gathering. I am soooo excited.

Lots of Hugs,
Janelle

    I'd like to meet.
    Hi, I'm in south central Wisconsin. I'd like to meet some sisters. Cinnamonsmile, would you be able to ride for a couple of hours? We could meet up and I'd drive - no cost to you! Or we could take an Amtrack train to Chicago.

    Wow.. I didn't know we had
    Wow.. I didn't know we had so many Wisconsin girls. I live near Green Bay, so it looks like I'm the furthest north. Sounds like it could be a good time maybe the three of us could meet somewhere and car pool? How crazy is this?

    So far the weekend chosen sounds doable. But September or October I will probably be in the midst of my implant exchange. So depending on when I can sneak in my surgery would determine if I'm available to come. Let's see how this plays out...

    Hugs,

    What a great idea, wish I could come. I live near St. Louis so it would be too much of a drive for me and that date we'll be on a vacation, already planned. Would love to meet all you Midwesterners. Maybe next time!

    Darn, I will be in Dallas that weekend
    I am near KC but might have been able to do Chicago. That is my girls weekend in Dallas with my mom, sister, my mom's cousin and her daughter. Plus my vakay time is running short since I want to have a week left in January when the next JC is born. Last year's Dallas trip got cancelled and I had my biopsy when I should have been shopping :(

    Be sure to post pix and let us know how fun it was.

    Darn,
