Yesterday, we drove to Woodstock, Illinois for the rededication of a 100-year-old Union Civil War monument in the historical town square. About 25 people attended the ceremony which was led by the town's mayor.
There is a goal to raise $10,000 for repairs after the monument has been out in the elements for all those years. It was built with funds raised by the Women's Relief Organization, an auxiliary of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization made up of veterans of the Union Army in the Civil War.
Enjoyed a walk around the square and the great nostagia store with more neat stuff than I've ever seen assembled in one place.
Today, we went to Antioch and visited with a friend who we haven't seen for a long time. Then, we had the biggest basket of fries I've ever seen at the Sequoit Lodge on Main Street. Played NTN as well.

Then drove to Hello Folks in Fox Lake and played NTN with three top twenties and finished up at the American Legion.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
