Happy Dollars   Donna for the McHenry Township Fire Department 75th anniversary party last Saturday in Veterans Park, Lori for today being the 15th anniversary of Bills marriage proposal,

 Bill figured he also should be happy, Bartmann because he drove Janice to the meeting today,

And they are heading north after the meeting, Hargrove for Chicago finally having s great baseball team after the little league world series,

Fun & Frolics   Diana Mark  fined everyone with questions on Blues Music .  It was interesting to learn that Blues evolved from the cotton fields and that drums and horns were not allowed out of fear of communication.  Chicago has the biggest Blues festival and is home to some of the biggest Blues Bands.

Can’t wait to try some of Bills home cooking next week. The old world family  spaghetti  recipe with garlic bread sounds even better than a big T-bone steak !
