Alffe, that is. She's nice to know.
That's what it says under her picture in her year book and Mr. Alffe said, yup, she sure IS nice to know. LOL
We had fun. I had a wonderful time. Alffe's home makes you feel so safe and comfortable and she is the hostest with the mostest.
Things got screwed up in Chicago and we didn't have time to connect with Kathy. Hopefully Alffe will be able to meet her sometime in the Chicago area. We ended up getting stalked by Mr. Alffe and he joined us for a luch at Billygoats.
LOLOL! Billygoats, I never knew. Cheeseborger, cheesborger, cheeseborger! CHEEPS! NO FRIES! I told Alffe about how John Belushi and former cast of Saturday Night Live used to to comedy skits about the famous Billygoats. And I TOLD her when you go to this place, they actually do say those things. So what did Alffe do? She did order a cheeseburger and then she told the guy she wanted fries! He immediately said, CHEEPS!!! (chips) NO FRIES!!! I'm still rofl about that one.
I shopped too much and must go out on the street corners now and panhandle, but my treats to myself I just adore. I had my first Crate and Barrel experience, and omg, what a store!!!! I want one of everything.
Walked through a few high end stores and just rolled our eyes at the $485 shoes!!!! Alffe found a lovely pair of black patent leather shoes for their New York trip and I got a very nice 'namebrand' purse at a discount to die for.
And then there's Shipshewana. YUM, the food we got there!!! Oh my.
Well we just had fun.
My visit with Kathy was awesome. She is so pleasant and polite and wonderful to talk to and EVEN invited me into her lovely home and no it didn't fall on my head! LOL Her nice hubby fixed us great fruit plates to brunch on while we chatted. I got to see pictures of her lovely family and even got to meet her neighbors. Just wonderful people.
Thank you (((Kathy))) for the pleasure of your company. It completed my trip.
Glad to be back. Love you all.
I already miss Mr. and Mrs. Alffe. Our last evening together we...well...we had a few drinks and were up laughing our butts off until after midnight!
I got sweet pictures of Mr. Cooper and will post one when I have time.
Thank you Kathy and Alffe for a wonderful time!!! Much too short.
