Happy Anniversary to us

It's 90°, heat index 100°, miserable here in Illinois. However, we went out for an anniversary supper to Anthony's Wild West bar & grill. Nice and cool in there. Good food and a fun waitress, and like the old people we are, we are out in our swing now. Hope you all had a good day.

Tea Party and Fashion Show

Some photos from the Tea Party and fashion show today. There were lots of models and wonderful outfits and a few funny ones...I just grabbed a few pictures, but mostly enjoyed my team mates gliding across the stage. The lunch was delicious, and the tea and desserts were lovely too. There was an auction for prizes, which was also fun. We all really enjoyed being together and getting to wear great hats and actually dress up for a change..there was also a small boutique in the corner, something for everyone. I won a $20 gift certificate for best table, it was announced for best hat, but was later told, it was for my Mad Hatter themed table...anyway, had a great day!

Storms coming!

Here's the roll cloud in front of the storm, it's been pretty wild for a while now, starting to calm down a little though. There was some really wicked lightning and wind. My son, Darren called from Collinsville and told us to get ready...it was coming..

Neowise comet this month in northwest sky.

We've been out on the dark country roads looking at the Neowise comet. You can barely see it, but it's definitely there. Very cool. Will be closer to earth next week.
