We had our 1st Locked Down In Chi-Town Sisterlocks Gathering this past Saturday and, boy, did we have ourselves a great time!!! It was such a pleasure to meet some of my Chicagoland Sisterlockers! From meeting and greeting one another while waiting for our table at the restaurant...to almost having to be pushed out of the restaurant because we were having so much fun hanging out...the evening surpassed my expectations of the group's 1st gathering. I am so glad I took the initiative to create our local Chicagoland group and I thank Cherie for helping me manage the group. It seemed like everyone had known each other for years from the way we were interacting with one another. The many laughs...the elders, me and Dutchess' headbands, Tammy's (Tmack) experimenting stories with straws, coffee stirrers, rollers, etc...and many other stories that made us laugh. I am TOTALLY looking forward to our next gathering...and again seeing those whom I've already met and meeting more people who weren't able to make the 1st gathering. It is so nice to be surrounded by such wonderful women and Women of God in Locked Down In Chi-Town. I think of them all as my extended family.
