THURSDAY, AUGUST 26
48 years ago, Liz and I were in Galena, Illinois, on out honeymoon, shortened because I had to be at school on the 29th. We went on a walk through Galena and this was before it became the tourist spot it is today. We had dinner at the Log Cabin steakhouse, which we still go to today.
My lawn tractor congratulated us by breaking down.
We were going to go to Sunnyside, but it was too crowded, so ended up at nearby Stucky's where we enjoyed the open mic jam. Later we went to Sunnyside.
Came home and opened the bottle of Blue Nun which Craig had given to us when he found out that you can't buy this Riesling wine anymore. He remembered he had a bottle from 1995 in his wine stash and gave it to us. What a guy.
This is our traditional anniversary drink/toast. Liz's dad, Amby, gave us a small bottle as we got ready to leave the reception all those 48 years ago.
It was good.
Thanks, Craig!! --RoadDog
