hot dog!!

 Today was Hot Dog Day in Rochelle

    This is a newspaper promotion in which participants pay  a fee and get hot dogs and buns to give away.  Free.  No cost.

    Most places also sell pop, water, chips, and cookies.  It is a way to make a little money, especially the museum. 

    In the past some people have asked for 5 or 6, telling us they wanted to have some for supper and lunch tomorrow.  I don't believe that happened to day.

    I was down there today for a couple of hours, which was a gamble because it involved leaving Jackie alone.  I think I am about 7 minutes from home at the museum, so if it is a non emeregency I can get there fairly quickly.

    But she did ok on her own today.

    I helped, but I was a pretty minor cog in the operation.

    I love the hot dogs.  They are from Hormel, but I don't think they are available in stores.  They are big and crunchy, the kind I like.  Plus, they have a great taste.

    The last hour or so was in a light drizzle, which made clean up and take down a little challenging.  

    By the time I got home it was a steady drizzle, and I sat on the porch for a while with my sweatshirt on and the hood pulled up over my head.  I was chilly.

    I then tackled one of my most feared tasks.....cleaning the dining room light.  It was very dusty.

    The light hangs on three hooks, and I can never manipulate the hooks to get the light back up correctly.  Tonight it went fairly smoothly, I only swore once and only dropped some of the rings two or three times.

    But the glass is intact and the light clean.  That's all that counts.

    Hope all your lights are clean....stay healthy and happy.

Peace and Love
