May Ladies Night Out

We had a delightful evening at the Waterleaf restaurant which is part of the College of DuPage.  Fran and Vicky planned a wonderful evening for us filled with yummy food and a tour of their kitchen facilities.  We had a great time visiting and eating together.  Thank you to everyone who was able to join us!

May 2014 Book CLub

We headed to Mon Ami Gabi in Oakbrook for our May Book Club meeting.  We discussed Muriel Barbery's The Elegance of the Hedgehog which also happens to be Chris M.'s favorite book.  The book's narrators, Renee and Paloma, tell parallel stories of the residents of a fancy Parisian apartment building. The consensus was that we all enjoyed the book and highly recommend it.
