4th of July Party at Sonnie and Danny's


Hello, Hello
4th of July party on the 4th anytime after 2:00, at 247 Coolidge Ave. Barrington. 847-381-9429, call if you can make it. Children can bring a friend if they like, don't forget that it helps if the kids have water shoes, and floaty jackets if they don't swim. We have a slide and diving board. Often kids want goggles to see under water. Also if you have other family or friends you wish to bring along, they are also welcome. We have fireworks at the H.S. in the evening. Can you pass this email along to others. I am trying to get a notice out in the mail and will send this to the email addresses I have, which aren't all of them. Hope to see you this year.
Love,
Sonnie

Old Neighbors coming back to Barrington!

We just got this message from the Trapps, who used to live right next door to the Whites in the Yellow Sears house:
"Right before Christmas, in the midst of a small meltdown (mine, not the kids), Brian turned to me and said..."Let's go home, let's just get back to Chicago." Not having to ask me twice, we got to work to do just that. A month later, we have found a house back in Barrington, just signed a contract on our PA house, and Brian formally accepted a job back in the Windy City. Everything fell into place very easily and QUICKLY. I am sorry to all of you that feel out of the loop, it really just did happen fast.

We will move out of our home in PA March 23rd and close on our Barrington house in April, unless our builder can make it happen sooner. So, look for the Trapp Family back in Chicago in the spring.

I think I knew the moment we landed in PA that this was going to be a difficult transtion. 2 years to the day, we will be back in Chicago and we know that it is absoutley the right place for us at this time in our lives. We hope you all will visit, and for you Barrington Friends, get ready..... we are back!

Love to you all,
Kelly"

For those of you who knew/know Brian and Kelly, this is a great thing! I say we invite them to our block party next year! haha.
