So the last month has been pretty boring as we have been stuck back in Illinois. The good news is that Brian’s Eagle Scout project is turned in to his troop. And now we just have to wait for the Council to contact us for the final meeting. This could take several weeks, so as of today we are outta Illinois!! The plan to drive to The Smoky Mountains in Tennessee for the fall colors. However, we will be going to Michigan first for a couple of days, as Jim has a client to see there.

Our time back in Illinois was filled with work work work. And friends, and family of course! Its amazing how much stuff has to get done when back in our hometown!! We got new glasses, I took care of a couple of photography clients, we filled prescriptions, went to the storage unit about 62 times, blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda. And visited lots of family and friends that we won’t be able to see for a while.At this point everybody should be happy LOL!!

So now the plan is to get this client taken care of in Benton Harbor, Michigan, head south to Smoky Mountains for a couple of weeks, and then we are going to head further south and scoot along the Gulf Coast in Florida, Alabama and over to Texas. We will visit some friends and family along the way, and enjoy some warmer weather, while you all here in Chicago freeze! Can’t say I will miss the weather, but I will miss all my peeps here!! See you all in a few weeks!

    Happy for you, sad for me! I was going to see what plans you had for tonight, but I’m not chasing you to Michigan for ice cream. Lol. Safe travels my friend.

    And then we land in this AWESOME PLACE!!!
    Eden Springs, in Benton Harbor, MI. Used to be a religious retreat. Used to be an amusement park. Used to have a small gauge train running all over the property, and still has some of it. Has a dedicated staff of volunteers working to restore it to what it once was…

    It’s just so cool here that I wish it wasn’t in Benton Harbor, Michigan, where they measure snow in feet, and do it from November to April.

    I could seriously come back here for a summer and volunteer to help fix up all the cool mechanical things they have here….
