Chenoa, Il

We arrived here Sunday from Vandalia.  So far this has been an easy site - hope it stays that way. 

Went to Fairbury last night (about 10 miles from here) to do some laundry and shop at Dave's Supermarket.  Great supermarket with lot's of selections.

It's hot and windy here in Chenoa.  The farmers are already harvesting corn.

Vandalia, IL

This is our second visit to Vandalia (we were here last year).  We haven't gotten a chance to see the downtown so far.  Last year the streets were torn up for improvements.  Hope to take some pictures.  The hotel and staff here are very nice.

Kempton, IL

We spent the night (last Saturday) at Rita's brothers new place outside of Kempton.  His garden supplied us with sweet strawberries, lovely cherry tomatoes, yukon gold potatoes and fresh onions.  Dinner was very good.

Michigan

We made it home today.  We get one day here and then off to see Johnny, Rita's brother in Illinois.  We'll have an evening of interesting conversation than we have to go to Vandalia (our second trip to this town) and then to Chenoa, IL.

Galesburg/Knoxville Il

We arrived here on Thursday.  We've just seen a little of Galesburg and downtown Knoxville. 

Whitehall, MI

Rita actually got to do a job in Michigan this time.  We are over on the west coast in the little town of Whitehall just across the water from Montague.  This hotel has some nice grounds to walk around. 

Rita wants to go see the Dog n Suds over in Montague.  She said she used to work at one a long, long time ago, near where she grew up.

We took some pictures but Rita hasn't downloaded them to the computer for us, yet. 

We leave on Tuesday morning to drive back home and then one day off and then we're going to Illinois.

Home Finally

Rita finally made it home on the 28th of July, after almost 6 weeks on the road.  Thank goodness she got a break because she was getting a little crabby!  She got to rest up some in between hair cuts, laundry, dental appointments, shopping for all those everyday things and of course a massage.  After five days off she was almost human again, almost.
