Monday, August 11th, I braved all the traffic, stoplights and photo-enforced lights and drove US-12 to Memory Gardens in Arlington Heights' Illinois, and cleaned off the grass from the edges of Liz's parents' marker and put up flowers in the vase.
I then went to China Buffet near where Liz's mom Frances lived after moving from her home in Palatine, Illinois. We used to have a China Buffet in Fox Lake, but it closed and I was wondering if this was the same one. They had the best walnut shrimp in the world. It wasn't, but I had a great meal anyway.
Next, I went to my favorite store anywhere around, Half Price Books, which also had records and CDs. Like the name says, everything is cheap and all the stiff that I like. Cost me $40 to get out of there, but got some good stuff.
Then, I stopped at White Castle on Dundee Road and bought ten sliders to take home.
It seems that every other stoplight in Lake Zurich on US-12, is waiting to take that $100 out of your pocket. They should change their welcome sign to "Welcome to Lake Zurich, the Village With a Photo-Enforced Heart!"
Stopped at Thompson's Nursery in Volo and then went out for some boating on Fox Lake.
Not a Bad Monday. --RoadDog
