This year we did an abbreviated version of our annual cousins reunion, FTGO (For Touby Girls Only), in honor of the original five Touby women. It was a serendipitous landing on the calendar when most had a few free days. Our pop-up event was staged in Lindenhurst at Jane's and we wandered across the border into Wisconsin, east to Illinois Beach State Park, and into Lake Forest. But mostly we talked, laughed and gnoshed our way through four days.
