The weekend, succinctly

A old girl friend was in Chicago for the weekend. With The Fella out of town, it was the perfect occasion to host an intimate dinner party (for the first time since Baby Max was born over six months ago!) for the ladies. Fancy wine and cheese, a homecooked meal, fresh-snipped lilacs, and a few stories about the horrors of law firms all contributed to a very entertaining night––it was like old times and Book Club, minus one founding member!
