LITTLE BITS OF LIFE: Eat, Drink, and Be Married!

Almost twenty-two years ago an outgoing and bubbly little girl pushed me into the georgetown pool a few days before first grade was starting. After the initial shock, I looked up to see Mary Pat who was screaming because we were going to be in the same class. Who would have known that we would have turned into friends that were as close as two sisters.

We have experienced so much together... from our days as mustangs and our endless summers at the pool, to many fabulous coz n' cots parties and our grown up party days in the windy city as roommates! I was so happy to share in another big moment with Mary Pat- her bachelorette weekend in Chicago!

So... what is a Coz 'n' Cots party? Once upon time five young girls decided to make up a prestigious tea party that only they and the hottest celebrities could attend.... (i.e. Michael Jackson- of course that's who you were thinking about). During these parties, they wore their finest dress-up clothes, drank "tea" (pop or hot cocoa ), and ate delicious tea cakes (whatever Diana and Anne could find in the kitchen for them). They also used their fancy talk and mannerisms.
And when the Chmiels moved away from the Dockhams- the Coz 'n' Cots became a memorable place where they could always meet up and see one another, talk about the past, and see mj.
