This weekend, I am back in my hometown in Louisiana. Since I still have family here, I visit fairly often. However, this weekend will be one that will bring back many memories – my high school is holding an Ultimate Reunion for all the graduates who ever walked the halls since 1925.

Part of the fun includes going to favorite places to eat. Already on the way home from the airport, Mark and I stopped at a favorite local diner where the homemade pies and hot plate lunches are unequaled anywhere. Mark laughed when I said something about the “plate lunches.” We just didn’t talk about plate lunches while living in Chicago for so long.

As is the way with many vacations, it’s all about the food, and this trip is no exception. We already have several meals planned to meet with friends and to make sure that we hit our favorite eating spots.

The school activities will be taking place on Friday and Saturday, so I’ll be providing a full report of the goings on. It’s time to make some new memories.
