Quincy, IL

We arrived in Quincy this afternoon. It was a beautiful sunny but cool day. The hotel is about 2 blocks from the Mississippi. We took some pictures and will post them soon. We have a very nice room and a nice flat screen tv to watch while Rita works.


Here is a nice picture of us dangling over the Mississippi River. Just because we thought Rita should take us out partying! So, she suggested we could take a nice river trip down to New Orleans and do our partying there because "someone" has to work to pay for our upkeep. We decided we didn't really need to go partying.

Working on new house

The fridge arrived yesterday - now we can have ice cream instead of those fiber bars. It's exhausting helping to paint, and clean and all that other stuff Rita does all day. Well, at least it looks exhausting when she does it, we've been "supervising", at least until Rita tells us to shut up and let her get some work done. Hopefully there will be tv soon so we can watch our shows and not annoy Rita so much.

Restaurant Kempton, IL

A pleasant surprise in this town of 234. Two ladies have taken over Sgt Pepper's Restaurant and it's a great place for dinner (haven't checked out breakfast and lunch). They're closed on Sundays.

The first time we tried the restaurant after the new owners, we walked in about 6pm on a Friday night and the place was almost full. We had a good dinner in a pleasant atmosphere with great service.
