Visited Mark and Priscilla at their home in Round Lake IL. We arrived right on time. Priscilla is in the middle of a graduation blanket for her granddaughter, she is able to use her new computer guided sewing machine. She has embroidered neat animals on the corners of the squares. One of the squares has a picture of her, when young, and it is five generations. Not many can hit that. It is a pretty pink colored boarder around the squares. Mark has a nice brand new Harley!! Who said second childhood? But what a nice rumble when he lights it off. We ate at The Whistle Stop in Fox Lake, another railroad memorabilia stuffed restaurant. It had most sizes of model rail along with some life size elements. Shirleen had warm grilled bacon ham cheese sandwich, Priscilla a Ruben, Mark a crispy chicken salad, as the Mahi Mahi was frozen, I a home style ham and cheese omelet with crispy hash browns and English muffin. We came back to there house and looked at the emerging hosta’s, looked at his thoughts on the stream alongside of the house.
Off for Brookfield, we took highway 45, the countryside road. We got to Walgreen’s right as she was getting off. Off to her house we went for our upcoming fish fry. Mark had found a new place for us to try. Turned out it was The New Fox & Hounds Restaurant around Holy Hill WI, half hour or so from their place. The restaurant had been shut down for some time and now has new owners. We started off with beverages, Shirleen’s house cabernet, Mark and I bloody Mary’s and a schnit of beer, and Michelle had a large glass of water. We ordered their sliced deep fried onions and a nice ranch dressing. The cod used in their fish fry were thick pieces, fur of them, almost more than I can eat, accompanied by fries. Michelle had a ribeye steak. All were pleased with the food, service was slow but, there were many many people there.
More tomorrow. jerr
