WOW........EIGHT years ago today (5/15/15), we closed on our Jackson Street house and became full-time nomads. Still having fun living in our 2 tiny homes so, hoping we can continue with this lifestyle!
Dreary day - had breakfast and packed for our little road trip north. The sun came out a bit with a high of 70.
Ever since we arrived at KK a week ago yesterday, a little birdie friend has been thoroughly enjoying flying back and forth from Flo to the truck - he must see his reflection in the windows and continues his crazy antics for long-time stretches till we go outside and he flies off. Soon after, he's back - loves to hit his beak against the windows. We think he has some issues for sure! Ha! Been trying to get some pics but he's always on the move. Mark took these from inside this morning thru the screen....
Sitting on propane tanks
Splat! Flying into the window
over and over - also loves to try and fly to roof of truck!
One goofy bird!
Today's plan had been to meet Bob and Linda and 2 long-time friends, Ruth and Jane (also cousin and fellow Sublettian) at Uptown Grill in LaSalle. But because of health issues with the girls' hubbies, we canceled and Mark and I just went to Bob and Linda's after lunch.
Our first stop was Goodfield and pick up a Door County Cherry pie at Busy Corner. Then to Eureka and check out Faire Coffee (new to us but been there since October, 2021). It's just up the street from the laundromat and we had noticed it last week when we were in town. It's in an old building with the brick walls - excellent brown sugar cinnamon scones.
Onto Mendota and visited with Bob and Linda and then played SkyJo - I won!
We left for Dixon and picked up Karen (aka Auntie) at her home and went to Basil Tree for delicious dinner AND celebrated her retirement which is coming at the end of the school year after teaching 33 years!!! We are not able to attend her big party on July 7th so it was nice to have this one-on-one time! She is Liam's Godmother so will be with us this weekend for graduation.
Mark and Karen (oldest and youngest siblings) and me
Congratulations Auntie!
Back to Bob and Linda's. The 4 of us played another game of SkyJo and I won again! Sure lucky today!!!
