Saturday, Liz and I drove to Antioch, Illinois, to support their Garden Club in their annual plant sale. They finance all the town's many park gardens and do a great job. Bought two plants and some bake sale items.
We then went to the new Ace Hardware by 173 and 59 and bought a 48-plant flat for $9.99 and that is a really good price these days, but I can remember buying flats for $4.99 on sale.
Next stop was at the Sandbar Bar and Grill on Lake Marie, one of the increasingly endangered bars on the Chain of Lakes. They were hosting a benefit for a young 38 year-old woman who had died leaving an unemployed husband and two sons. She was diagnosed with numerous brain tumors and died in a few months.
It was for a good cause, but we had fun getting into the raffles, drinking and eating, all of which went for her family. Spent time both inside and outside.
They also had a rock band, but I only recognized a few of the songs they played; all newer stuff.
Even though the weather is not what I consider to be good for boating, there were quite a few folks out pushing the season.
A great way to kick off the 2010 boating season and for a really good cause.

Thought for the Day: Did you ever notice the Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Would that be extra large?
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
