Bill and I had a busy, but fun day. We went to Litchfield, IL to the Prairie Pickers antique/flea market. It went on for blocks and blocks, many, many vendors, with prices that were pretty reasonable. So we bought some stuff we didn't need and had a fish sandwich while listening to live music in the town square. One interesting thing: There was an episode of American Pickers a few years ago, that featured Hobo Jack, he is a resident of rural Litchfield. He was there playing music and selling autographed pictures. He was a sweet old man, we talked to him a bit, and Bill had his picture taken with him. Of course, we bought an autographed picture. So that was all before noon. After lunch we drove across rt. 16 to Mattoon, to Bauer's auction house, where they were having their monthly

 antique sale, we bought more stuff we didn't need. It was all great fun though. We had a hotdog at Burger King, and who knew, they had Dr. Pepper Milk shakes! So I have some bread in the bread maker and hope I can stay awake long enough for it to get done...hope you all had a great weekend!
