It was beautiful here today. We winterized the chicken coop and went for a ride. It was just a relaxing day. Yesterday we went to a town about 30 miles north of us, Effingham, IL. They have recently built a new theatre there. A theatre, like the Fox, for live entertainment. They have quite a line up of entertainers and have sold over 2 million dollars in season tickets. I am so glad we will have somewhere to go for entertainment around here. The venue is about 1550 or so. The town itself is only 12,000 pop., so it is amazing that is was built there. It opens next week for it's first performance. So, anyway, we ate at Stake n shake and did a little shopping and went to check out the new theatre.

I have been watching the History channel all day, mostly shows about Nostradamus, a curator of the vatican library in Italy recently found a lost book by him, hidden in the library....it's just full more gloom and doom. Still I can't stop watching it. Somebody me.

Here is a link to the theater and a list of the coming events.

Saturday...pumpkins and Redneck Rockers

When we were running Wild Bill's Concessions, our favorite place to be was at Relleke pumpkin farm. Since we no longer work in the concession business we gave up all of our places of business. Today, though, we went back for a visit and it was so nice to be back there. The people who own and run the Pumpkin festival were happy to see us and said they all missed us and that people ask for Wild Bill's, even still. Here are people picking their own pumpkins up out of one of the huge fields.

This was our old spot where we parked our trailer for business for the last 5 years we worked here.
And like all of those before us.....we have now become.......THE PUMPKIN PEOPLE.....!

Later that night we went to Becky's Bar in Salem to hear the Redneck Rockers play, my brother being the bass player. We had a great time...





Barb came to join us too.
