It started off Friday night with dinner with Chuck and Teri, our annual anniversary and usually one or two birthday(s) celebration. I think we have been doing it pretty much every year since 1986. Somewhere I have pictures from almost all of those years. It'd be great if I could find them and organize them sequentially. I did not get a picture this year, though Teri did ask someone to take our picture. It wasn't the best shot because we were sitting in (as Chuck called them) kindergarten chairs. Anyway, this year Chuck and Teri treated us to dinner at a restaurant named Travelle, in the Langham Hotel. It was a super fun night. We always have interesting conversations, with more topics than time to cover them. I really treasure these times together.
Jack and I spent the rest of the weekend at the Union League Club. We were planning on staying just Friday night, but on Saturday morning, I suggested we stay another night. Yes I did. I am such a homebody and so frugal that it rarely happens that I throw caution to the wind like that and suggest we extend our stay. Good for me! I was pretty proud of myself. We ended up having dinner at Twin Anchors, a restaurant for which we had heard many rave reviews. Afterward, we took a walk through Old Town, then ubered it over to the Gold Coast, where we enjoyed a lovely bottle of champagne at the Ritz lobby bar. We had had a drink there on our first date back in 1982. It was the perfect opportunity to people watch and relax and contemplate all of our many blessings.
