I have been reminded by those near and dear to my heart that I've not blogged in awhile. Well, after looking at the last blog I would have to agree with them. Since Dale and Dick left in August (such a long time ago), my parents have visited Eldred. I didn't take any picture during their visit but I can at least update you on their stay.
I think they had a good time and also realized that I'm pretty happy out here and enjoying my life in Illinois.
We did the usual tour of the farm and equipment and my dad was pretty impressed. I don't know how it happened but when everyone from New Jersey was here for the wedding, Mom and Dad missed the tour bus and didn't get to see the sheds and equipment. This visit we made sure they saw most of everything. We took them on a "crop inspection" tour and I think they went home with two ears of corn and some soybeans of their own.
I was asked by my favorite daughter in law to make lasagne and invite the whole family over for supper while the NJ parents were here. . . of course I thought it was an excellent idea and we had a great time and hopefully my parents got a chance to get to know my family here in Illinois a little better.
Dinner at the Brass Door enabled them to have and enjoy the famous Brass Door porkchops on famous "Port Chop Night" and of course a visit from those back east would not be complete without supper at the Barefoot.
Lastly we took them to Ameristar and my Mom was lucky enough to win $1000 in a slot machine. So I guess her visit to St. Charles was well worth.
The visit was over too quickly and before I knew it they were headed back towards New Jersey with stops in Nashville and Asheville along the way.
Trailor for the next post . . . lots of pictures of my NJ visit, 40th high school class reunion (I can't be that old!) and harvest. Stay tuned!!!!!!!!
