Tuesday - October 10

 Beautiful fall day.    We were off at 9:30 with 5 loads of laundry to take to Normal Maytag Coin Laundry.    The attendant, Jack, is so nice and friendly,    He always asks about our travels, etc.    Today he told us all about the new laundry facility coming soon - totally remodeling with all brand new stainless steel machines, cards instead of quarters, no charge for drying, etc.    He was saying that the company that owns over 7,000 laundromats across the country has over 500,000 machines with 22,000 not working! 😖    He showed us pics and they will close for 3 days and be finished sometime in November.    We'll have to wait till next spring!

Then we ran a few errands and met friends Pat and Brenda at The Station Saloon for lunch and celebrate Brenda's birthday.    We enjoyed our lunch - lots of choices and very reasonable.   We sat and chatted for 2 hours laughing and just really fun to be together and catch up.

One more stop at Dollar Tree and on home.    Quiet afternoon in the country reading and playing games on our I-pads.  The farmers are going strong!

Then time to "EAT' again....so back to town to meet Anne and Connor at Hacienda Leon for some great Mexican fare.  Fun catching up about golf tournament, homecoming, school, etc., etc.
