Are We Ever Spoiled!
After parking in state and county parks for 3 months we are really spoiled with these huge sites...
So what have we been up to when we're not enjoying the fall color. Yesterday I drove to Libertyville to have lunch with "the goils". Carla was in from Florida at a business event in Chicago and took the train to Libertyville. We picked her up and had a three hour lunch until she had to catch the train. Too bad the crab / artichoke sandwich did not agree with three of the goils. Won't order that again :(. As always we enjoyed our girl talk and our support of each other as life changes. Here's "the goils"....
Today Jim saw the chiropractor again and his shoulder is improving although not yet healed. The doc showed us an interesting joint exhibit of the rotator cuff muscles which is where Jim is having trouble. So he's doing the exercises, taking the supplements, getting better slowly but surely...and I'm doing the driving.
We stopped for lunch at the corner of Oklahoma and 27th St. in Milwaukee. First we had lox and bagels (of course with cream cheese, onion, tomato and capers). The we moved next door to have a double dip Leon's Frozen Custard. Twice in one week....oh mygod!!! I had butter pecan and Jim had chocolate. The pecans were sugar roasted....yikes how delicious!
On the way home we had to stop at our favorite bookstore, Salvation Army. After browsing the unorganized shelves we left with 10 books for $8. Can't beat the price :) We donated three books so we need to get busy reading here.
We stopped at the Pic n Save to return some cookies that had chocolate melted together so you had a clump of three cookies. While there Jim bought some herring that he says is the best he's ever had and we replenished our supply of Rev. Jack. That does seem to help the joint pain. I have a hunch tomorrow we'll be back at Pic n Save for more herring :)
We biked around the park and will have a snacky supper and watch a movie or read. Tomorrow I'm sleeping in!!!
NOTE: Because our GPS on the satellite is not currently working our location map link is not accurate. We really are at Cliffside Park in Racine WI. As soon as the big guy has a working shoulder he'll replace the control board and hopefully we'll be back in business.
