Last weekend is a good example of why we like to stick around the area here in northeast Illinois during the summer.
The bars are open again and the bands are playing. Spring Grove and the towns around us are in an area of Illinois known as the Chain of Lakes (or Chain o' Lakes). There are about nine interconnected lakes and a long stretch of the Fox River.
And, boating is king. As a matter of fact, we had three boats over a period of time ranging from 1985 to 2019. The waterways go crazy on the weekend with hundreds of boaters out to have a good time.
An example of the fun we have took place last weekend.
On Saturday, our friends Kevin and Kelly had a party for their new granddaughter and a keg of beer and lots of food. They have a house right on Mineola Bay on Fox Lake. There is something about ice cold beer, the sun and watching the boats go by.
However, many folks brought their own libations and that keg wasn't empty, so we signed up for a Day After Party on Sunday with some other friends. We worked as hard as we could, but we couldn't finish that keg.
So, it became necessary to have a Day After Party Part 2. This time we succeeded.
Last night, we went out for one of those great Midwest fish fries at Stucky's in Johnsburg, Illinois. In just a little bit, we're going to Rosie's on Grasslake where they will have a band out on the deck.
Oh, Well, Somebody's Got to Do It, and We're Just the Guys to Do It. --RoadParty
