We had a nice day in a beautiful RV park near Frankfurt, Kentucky. Mom cooked up a fabulous steak dinner with all the fixins. We had a bit of trouble connecting to the cable service, but the camp guy figured we needed a digital to analog converter since the cable service was entirely in digital. So we could watch the end of the PGA contest which was pretty incredible. Rookie who never played in a major before wins it on the third play-off hole. Dad said that the age of the rookies is now upon us.
Monday we rose early to begin the long 400 mile trek to Barrington Hills, northwest of Chicago. Our friend, Robin Fentress lives in this fabulous development called Wynstone. Now you can see by the pictures that the homes in here are over the top McMansions. I'd guess that the average home was about 10,000 sq ft, and probably penciled in at about $2-5 M. Robin's house is very lovely and we enjoy the beautiful back yard. I went crazy with the 3 deer that ambled by the back deck. One of Mom's old girl scout troop members, Marcia Schwartz (Robin was their scout master) came over to cook up a super Lasagna repast.
Today (Tuesday), the highlight of the day was a romp in this huge dog park (56 acres)I met up with some beagles, whose Mom reminded Dad of Mama Cass of the Mamas and Papas. Jenny Craig where are you? So tonight Mom, Dad, and Robin are off to the Bistro for some French cuisine. I'll stay behind with my Ecanuba and the visiting deer.
We hope to do another dog park tomorrow, and then Thursday we're off to Lacrosse, Wisc.
