SATURDAY

Like Frank "The Tank" and his famous quote from Old School, Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

For those of you who saw the movie our Saturday was fun, but note quite as fun as Franks. (No streaking or late night KFC, but we did have fun.)

We started off visiting Maga and her last day in the hospital. It's so good to see Mom smile so we knew this was a good start to the day. I don't know what it says about our family knowing that you're mother is the toughest one of the bunch, but it was still pretty fun pushing her buttons and having her chase us around the house with the wooden spoon all those years. Good thing for us her footwork wasn't always the best!

I think Benny is getting to that stage where if he doesn't see you everyday he is a little hesitant in hanging out with you (except his Aunt BethAnne) but he quickly became acclimated with his surroundings and had a great time hanging out with his Maga and flirting with the nurse.....that's my boy!

After a few hours at Northwestern we met Uncle Butko and Renata at the 11th Street Diner for lunch. Benjamin's first trip to a Jewish delicatessen, but certainly not his last. Even though he couldn't enjoy the Woody Allen special like his pops, he certainly took a liking to the crackers and french fries. And thanks for the hockey puck Uncle Butko!

To finish up our Saturday we headed over to Glen Ellyn for our second annual OL/QB/WR/DL reunion at Danny Cutter's house. I'll save the details for the next post, but I just wanted to thank the Cutters again for hosting.
