On Tuesday, Roger golfed with Stan Bruegger, and I went to Galena with Jackie Bruegger. (friends from McNess in Freeport where Roger used to work) In Galena, we shopped, had lunch, and found C.C. Dithers where my friend Cathy Boldt (wife of a friend of Ellen's from high school) works. I bought a very unique pair of capris in Cathy's store.
Tuesday night, we went out to Coaches in Lena for pizza with Jeff and Cathy Boldt. We bumped into Kathy Aurand Diaz and her husband Dan and son Zachary (Kathy is a high school friend of Ellen's sister)
Wednesday, Roger got up early and golfed with Steve Smith (friend from Freeport) in Freeport. I slept in and had a lazy morning. Then Roger came back for a few minutes and then left to golf with Jim Graham (friend from Freeport) in Lena. While Roger was gone, I prepared a guest lecture I am giving for a Univ of Nebraska professor. When Roger got back, we went into Stockton to see my Aunt Glenda and get ice cream.
Wednesday night, we had dinner at Rafters with Jim and Deb Graham. Before we left to meet Jim and Deb, we learned that a San Antonio neighbor, Bernetta Haden, was at Apple Canyon Lake, which is about 20 miles from our campground. She invited us to come out for a visit, but since it was our last night and we already had plans, we were unable to meet up with her. Nevertheless, it was quite a coincidence that we almost met up with our San Antonio neighbor while we were in Illinois!
Right now, it is about 12:30 on Thursday afternoon. Check out time is noon, and we are a little late, but will leave in a few minutes and head to Iowa City. Hopefully we'll get back in our picture-taking mode there!
