Today was a lot of fun. First Aunt Vicky stopped by to bring tables for the garage sale. She had Molly, Jaxson and Greyson with her. They helped me get a few things done and did a little shopping as well. I tried to give them whatever they wanted, but Aunt Vicky insisted on paying, so we got the four of them some great items and made enough money to purchase yard signs for the sale.
Once Doug was done working, he and I headed to Chicago for the night. Traffic was better than I thought it would be and we made it in plenty of time for dinner. Once Maggie arrived home from work, we walked to one of the oldest celebrity restaurants in Chicago. Although the wait time was way too long for us, we had fun looking at all of the pictures of the famous guests that they had hosted over the years.
Our next stop was Marge's, which was the longest continually running bar in the city. We got the last open table and really enjoyed our meal. The four of us talked a lot about the Survivor finale and the old episodes that Cal and Maggie were watching now. It was amazing to me how different the weather felt just a few blocks away from the lake. There was no wind, so it was a beautiful night for a walk.
After dinner, we went back to Cal and Maggie's apartment. She had to get up at 4 a.m. so we said goodnight to her early and stayed up watching basketball with Cal. He and I had a wonderful conversation after Doug fell asleep about life, family and so much more. I was very thankful for his openness and enjoyed the evening very much.
