Day 3 - Chris Ellis & Lorelle Lindo, Chicago, IL

The distance from Jamie’s house in Crystal Lake to Buck Town in Chicago is 45 miles. We will be staying At Chris and Lorelle’s for 4 days, leaving Saturday. There are also a number of other people we are planning to see while in Chicago. Joe grew up in Chicago before he made his home in Iowa. Those Chicago ties still exist. Also, nephew, Rashid Ali lives in Chicago and we’ll be seeing him during this stay as well.

We settled in at Chris and Lorelle's place and visited with Chris for a while before we headed to a Lorelle’s first game in a volleyball tournament. Her team won and the victory celebration was a trip to McFadden’s Sports Bar where we joined the celebration with the team. This also gave us an opportunity to meet a number of people that will be at Chris and Lorelle’s wedding and in the wedding party.

We ended the evening by helping stuff the wedding invitations and do the last minute preparations for mailing them. It’s always great to have a Postmaster in the family, even if retired. The invitations are absolutely beautiful. Chris and Lorelle spent a lot of time on these and it certainly shows
