Facebook group

Come join us on Facebook! Our group name is: I grew up in the Chicago Heights Stake

Facebook anyone?

What do you think about taking this group to facebook? Many are already connecting there and it is an easier more private setting. I can create a group. What should we call it? You can e-mail me any suggestions at almnielsen@hotmail.com

Welcome to Salt lake...

Some of you may have already known this Windy City friend is part of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus which is coming to town. You can check out his website/music at www.ryan-states.com .

More Windy City Friends

A few more friends from the past. Nice to see them again :)

Almost like being there...

I have been to Sweet Home Chicago a couple times now. The atmosphere is great - mainly because of all the Chicago pictures and sports team posters, and because I am with Chicago people when I go!

The pizza is pretty good. I like the deep dish better than the thin crust, but it's all better than Little Caesar's.

Here is a picture of me (Terry Crowe, Jr) my wife Tree, Dad (Terry Crowe, Sr), brother Chris Crowe and his wife Louise Crowe, and three of my eight kids at Sweet Home Chicago enjoying some thin crust.

Some of you have asked about Jeff and Tara's Salon in SLC. Here it is. Cafe Niche is right next door. Enjoy! They're the best in the valley! I can't believe how many people I stumped with that last photo. I thought it was obvious. This could be fun. If you have a pic - send it to me and I will post it if you can't.

Recognize any of these girls?

So nice to see friends getting together across America!

Best we have found in Utah! Thin crust like Aurelios. We'll plan an evening here some time soon for those who are interested. Just like the good ol' days :)

Friends passing through....

Sorry to say we missed out on Cherie and her family - too busy to squeeze it in. We'll catch you next time Cherie :)-- However, I am told Araly is coming and would love to gather on Aug 4th ( at Daybreak? Shrimp boil?). E-mail me if you are interested - almnielsen@hotmail.com
