FRIDAY, AUGUST 26
I was sitting out by the Grant Hills Motel's pool at 12:45 pm. It was nice when the clouds rolled by, but very hot when they were gone. They are cutting the grass and I sure love the smell of fresh mown grass. One of those great smells of summer.
I've seen a place in Elizabeth called Cajun Jack's advertised quite often and we drive by it every time we go to Galena. But, we'd never stopped in. Any place with a name like that will be of interest. So, today was the day we would check it out.
They have great decor outside and inside. We ordered beers and got a half order of Cajun chips with steak and all sorts of fixins' for $9. We could not finish it. We just had one draft beer apiece and would have had more had we known that they were just $1.75. That is a good price these days.
Back to the motel then downtown Galena and, like yesterday, almost unbelievably found a parking place right in front of the VFW where I wouldn't have to parallel park. This is especially hard these days since I lost my depth perception.
