Thursday in Union Il.

We arrived yesterday afternoon from Sandwich, we are staying until tomorrow at the Chicago Northwest Koa in Union. IT is a pretty place with it’s own theater, miniature golf , pool, and tons of stuff to do, I got a nice pull through spot, today I went to the Illinois Railroad Museum. I would venture to say it is the largest of the museums I have been too, Thoroughly enjoyed my visit, the girl in the ticket booth when she found  out I was a disabled veteran told me to put my money away and gave me a free admission.God love these country girls. This museum is a first class operation. Here are some flicks.

 





This museum has a lot of rare equipment. Really worth the time to visit , I ‘m lucky when we get up to Scranton I can go to Steamtown Nat’l Park. Donna just stayed back at the fiver and relaxed, this is what I am looking forward to on this vacation, Some days that are do nothing, just lay around and maybe soak in the pool relation days. That’s about it for today, tomorrow we will leave and head for Delaware Oh. where my nephews Son s having a graduation party. Everybody be safe out there. Sam & Donna……..

Both Donna and I were tired out from the trip, This morning I had to make a trip to the gas station to fill up on diesel fuel, and then Donna an I headed over to Dennis and Dona Caves. we have been here before and they are well known fellow bloggers.

Wednesday Notes

This s mostly a test of Live Writer to see if it is working, another blogger posted they were having trouble with, said he thought is was an issue with Windows, since  am running Windows 8.1  decided to see what is up.
Yesterday we took Rigg’s to the Vet for his checkup and to get a certificate that will allow his travel  into Canada. He is in good shape and got several shots,to update him.
Today will be Max the Duramax’s turn I will be taking him in for an oil change. filter and lube so he is ready to travel. He has spent most of his time since our last outing in the garage.
Have to start stocking the fiver’s fridge today.Other than that not much is going on today. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna

Here it  another gorgeous weekend after4 days of clouds and rain. Donna and I are just setting around and enjoying the day, She said she would make some dead chicken Fettuccine for supper,the fur babies have been good and are enjoying gong in and out in their sunny yard. My Son is out doing some of his lawn jobs. Yesterday we had Grand girl Nicky over and she sure s getting big. Same thing with Adam.

My Son Tim took the NJ Grands to Yankee Stadium for a ball game.

Been awhile since Donna and I have been down to a Cardinal game.

The days are flying by, so this week I will have to start the fridge in the trailer and fill the fresh water tank and give the fiver a good check out for our trip, only 2 weeks to go.

Other than that not much going on. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna…
