We went for a cool motorcycle ride this morning and I don’t mean neat as it was on the cool side weather wise. We made a stop in Richmond IL to check out the old stores and most of them are closed on Monday and Tuesday. So Cheri was only able to get in a couple of stores. The main purpose for the ride was to see if we could find the school where I went to first grade as I wanted to take a picture of it. Well we found it and there were so many trees around it I couldn’t get a good picture. There is a family living in the school and from the looks it has been for many years. Well I pulled around the corner and there were a couple of guys outside so we stop and asked them if I could take a picture and they said sure. The school was a lot smaller then I had remembered it, maybe because I was smaller back then. I had only gone to first grade there as we moved north in Wisconsin after I got out of the first grade. Then we rode on down the road to find the place where we had lived back then. It sure looks different now; in fact I wasn’t sure it was the same place until I took a second look. A couple of places I remember were gone completely. Plus there were more new houses in the area. We rode back though a couple of other towns and then back to Kari’s place to have lunch. After lunch we took the truck and went to Home Depot to get some materials so I could build a dog collar and leash rack for Camp Bow Wow. Kari is getting more dogs then she has room for the collars and leashes. So I am now building two racks that each will hold 23 collars and leashes. Kari had to work all day and didn’t get home until after 7:30 pm. Cheri had made Lasagna and garlic toast for supper and brownies with chocolate topping for dessert. Tim also joined us for supper. Cheri and I turned in early this evening as we were both tired.
