WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8
We went to Donovan's Reef in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, for beverages and trivia, then to Sunnyside in Johnsburg, Illinois, for more.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9
Liz had a hair appointment in Round Lake, Illinois, and I went along. While she was inside, I went to the Round Lake Ace Hardware store which is still the largest Ace Hardware store in the United States. When we lived in Round Lake, we spent a lot of money in that store.
Liz's salon is right across from Magee Middle School where I taught for 31 years. School's back in session, but I'm not. Something about retirement.
We then went to the Dog 'N Suds on Rollins Road in Ingleside for their Thursday Charcoburger special ( 2 for $4). Charcoburgers are one of our favorite burgers anywhere. Have to eat them now because they close in a month. There are only about seven Dog 'N Suds left in the United States and we have three of them within about fifteen miles of us. And, of course, there's that great root beer.
Next, we went to the nearby Squaw Bar to see what was going on. This is a bona fide dive bar if there ever was one and we have had a lot of fun there, especially on Sunday afternoons when the Chicago Bears play. Bear fans all over the place.
Last two stops were at Sunnyside and Stucky's in Johnsburg.
Always something to do around here during the summer and fall.
