Becky (my college roommate) and I get together ONE DAY A YEAR. We only live 3 hours apart, so you'd think it would be easier, eh? But, I swear, it gets harder EVERY YEAR...and this summer, we had to reschedule SIX TIMES...it was crazy.
Every time we thought it was gonna work out, something came up. I had car problems, Becky had grandma trouble...the usual old lady stuff....
So, here we are -- IT'S ALMOST NOVEMBER...but we are determined!! On this day, I woke up HOPEFUL...
I always pick the town. This year, I chose LaSalle, Illinois. It's a quick 1 1/2 hour drive for each of us...
 |
| And it was the perfect day for a little road trip!! |
 |
| Our first destination was the I and M Canal Cafe. |
 |
| Inside, it is THE MOST CHARMING place you can imagine. |
 |
| From the inside -- looking out -- this town looks like a postcard from 1956.... |
 |
| FINALLY. Becky and I got to sit down and do our annual catch-up. |
 |
| Our waitress, Tessa, taking a picture of us, taking a picture of her... |
 |
| The back room is set up with may round dining tables...and all those panels tell the history of the I and M Canal. |
 |
| Becky, who has pretty much lived in Chicago all her adult life -- DIDN'T KNOW A THING ABOUT IT... |
