The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Back to Indy-- Part 1: Cold and a Case of Sliders and We're On Our Way

Last weekend, I went back to the Indy 500 race after a one-year period because of the you-know-what.

We left on Friday, May 28, 2021.  I went with the usual cast of characters.

MAY 28 2021

I got up early and managed to get blog entries into six of them before driving over to Ingleside, Illinois, with Liz and meeting Sue and Paul, whose RV I was riding there.  They moved from Long Lake, Illinois, a little over a year ago and now live by Santa Fe, New Mexico.  They are staying at a friend's house there.

I also got to meet my two new travel companions, Stella and Chico, a brother-sister pair of  King German shepherds.

And, it was C-O-L-D!!!  Way too cold for this time of year.  Sadly, it was also cold in Indianapolis.  Plus, we had sprinkles and light rain on top of it which stayed on and off the whole way to Indianapolis.

The owner of the house has done a great landscaping job and has a pool of giant koi and gold fish.

Once we left, we drove Rollins Road east to Grand Avenue where we stopped at the White Castle by Gurnee Mills for our annual Slider Fix, much to Sue's chagrin.  Now we had a 30 case with plenty of extra pickles and Dusseldorf mustard.  (To me, a proper Slider must be "fixed" with plenty of pickles and a slab of that mustard to be right.)

Of course, those Sliders drew the attention of Chico and Stella.

Breakfast of Champions as we got on the Tri-State to pick up Paul's brother John at a hotel near Midway Airport.  John is the fourth member of our contingent.
