APRIL 1, FRIDAY-- Chased a cat away from the birdfeeders, but old Gray tail, now Reb the Squirrel made it up to the seed and was having a feast. Just can't beat the squirrel. He made it with a really high jump, I mean really high.Met Kevin and Kelly at the Legion and watched the Hawks win in overtime.
APRIL 2, SATURDAY-- Went to the Legion and enjoyed the 3 Aces playing all that old rock and roll and country. Then went to Sunnyside and watched the Sooners get blown out by Villanova in the NCAA Tournament Final Four. Watched the Syracuse-UNC game there and then home at Margaritaville. It was close for awhile, then the Tarheels won easily. Two very boring games.
APRIL 3, SUNDAY-- Met Kevin and Kelly at Sunnyside and watched a rare afternoon Hawks game as our guys won 6-4 after taking a 6-0 lead. then went to Half-Time.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Just Hangin' Around-- Part 2: Of Taxes, Somebody Likes Us and Blackie the Squirrel
MARCH 30, WEDNESDAY--
Went to H&R Block and had our taxes done. The guy really seemed to know his stuff and hopefully we won't have the problems we had last year with Hewett & Jackson. As usual, we owe, so it's off to work I go. NOT!!
Stopped at the Whistle Stop in Fox Lake for breakfast afterwards. I have never been there and heard it is a really good place to eat. And, every time I drive by when they are open (breakfast and lunch) there are usually people lined up to go inside). One of their March specials is an Irish omelet with corned beef and Swiss cheese.
The waitress later came back with a smile on her face and said that something had happened which just made her feel so good. She said that an older man had told her to go ahead and pay for the breakfast of some other people and left. We asked who they were and she said, "You." Well, that sure made our day. We didn't recognize anyone when we came in.
We later went to Donovan's and the Grove on our way back.
MARCH 31ST, THURSDAY--
Warm enough for me to sit outside on the front porch and finish yesterday's Whistle Stop Irish omelet. First front porch breakfast of the year for me. Love that outside eating. Later enjoyed watching Blackie the Squirrel (our black squirrel) get thoroughly frustrated trying to overcome the new anti-squirrel devices I have up on the birdfeeders. But, I figure it to be just a matter of time before he or Reb (our gray squirrel) figure out how to get the seed. You can't beat squirrels.
We went to Sunnyside.
