Finding faraway friends from years ago

Quite unexpectedly on our first full day in Chicago, we heard from Rob that Stasia and Alan and their two gorgeous daughters Isabella and Angelina have been living here for the past couple of years.

LinkedIn came to the rescue … we made contact and within hours Stasia had whipped up an amazing Sea bass supper in their beautiful home in Winnetka.  The girls made name places and table art and then as self-appointed guides showed us around.

Needless to say the evening was not long enough to catch up the absence of more than 12 years of friendship so we met again at Chicago’s Cheesecake Factory last night … lots of good laughs and still not enough time.  Stash … WE WILL BE BACK! http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/
