 The River Rats are on the IL River and settled in at Grafton, IL tonight.    They traveled 58.4 miles today and went thru 2 locks with a 4-hour wait at the first one (Chain of Rocks).   Here are some highlights from last night and today...

More good eating out today - lunch wtih Kathy and Claire at Jesse's Grill and then dinner at the country club with my Exchange Club and our annual banquet/awards night.

Three months ago tonight was the accident!    Seems longer than that, but once again, despite all the doctor visits, ongoing therapy, etc., we are so thankful when we think what could've been!

Tonight, our thoughts and prayers are with our daughter-in-law, Annette and her family.  Her Grandpa died today in New York at the age of 90.
