Cupid's been here

We've been "Struck". Dan went to work this morning and as he was leaving he found a gift bag on the front step. It was full of Valentine goodies. We were struck by Cupid's arrow. Now it's our turn to pass it along to someone else. So today I picked up some things so I can make 3 more goodie bags. Tomorrow night, Dan and I will "Strike" 3 other families on our street. It's fun to have neighbors who enjoy doing this kind of thing.
This game took place back in October also, but that month it was "You have been spooked".

What were we thinking?

Dan and I went to Chicago this past weekend with my parents for the sole purpose of eating at one particular restaurant. Berghoff's. This restaurant is closing after 100 years of business and my parents wanted to eat there one last time. Since Dan and I had never eaten there we thought we'd join my folks and experience this place for the first and last time. Little did we know that we'd have to stand in line outside the restaurant for over 3 hours! It was between 45 and 50 degrees and drizzling rain just about the entire time. We got in line about 6:30 (my aunt and uncle got there at 5:15) and finally sat down at a table at around 8:45. The food was good and it was fun to see the inside of this historic old building...but I think we were a little crazy to wait all that time.

Hey everyone, this is my first post. I'm just checking this out to see if I can figure out how it all works.
