What a blast! The weather was warm, sunny and beautiful. My cousin, Jimmy, and his wife, Patty, live at Lake George and open their gorgeous lakefront home every year to host the family reunion. This year was a smaller group than usual because the only weekend we could have it was 4th of July weekend. Alot of the cousins had other committments.
I picked Bree up in Chicago and we headed for Lake George. It was sooooo great to see everyone again!!! My cousin Jenny's husband, Sandy, cooked pork brisket and chicken on a smoker all day and it was DELICIOUS!!! Melted in my mouth! Everyone brings dishes and there are tons of appetizers and munchies and lots of cold drinks. Beer is usually the drink of choice for this Irish clan!!!
The party goes on til the wee hours of the morning and then we all reunite again Sunday for Bloody Mary's, coffee, and brunch. Bree and I headed back to Chicago early to miss the traffic. There were hugs all around and promises to keep in touch and "see ya next year!!"
Bree and I got back to Chicago and proceeded to head to Michigan Avenue. We went into Tiffany's and Bree bought me a TO DIE FOR Tiffany's silver charm bracelet for my birthday!!!!!! I adore it! My first gift ever from Tiffany's. It is sooo pretty!!! THANK YOU BREE!!
Then we met John at Timothy O'Toole's for an early supper and I had to go home. As I went down the toll road I noticed mile after mile of cars and trucks stopped in traffic headed towards Chicago. Soooo glad we left the lake early!!!
It was a wonderful weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
