The cold front has made its way down here now - it was 46° yesterday morning with a wind chill of 42°, but by the afternoon it had warmed up to about 59°. Symphony has a Class C Brave motorhome and she wanted Mike to check a few things on it for her and he did that yesterday. We spent the rest of the day catching up with each other's news.
Today Symphony took us down to Collinsville to go to Trade Day which is a huge outdoor market with handmade crafts, antiques, homemade pastries and canned food, fresh fruits and vegetables, clothing, tools, furniture and booths serving hot food. We have been to Trade Day before when we visited with Symphony and its just fun to see what all is there.
This morning it was 44° with a wind chill of 38° when we got up, but it had warmed up a little by the time we were in Collinsville. We've been here when it was much warmer, but today was really pleasant and we didn't get overheated walking around the market. We bought some homemade cheese and canned pickles from an Amish booth. We also bought a "N" medallion at another booth that Mike is going to paint and put on a front wall of the house.
After leaving the market, Symphony took us over to a friend's house for us to meet him. Chuck had been ill earlier this year and Symphony had helped him out until he recovered. We visited for quite a while and then we all realized that we were hungry. We said that Symphony and Chuck could choose the restaurant and that we would pay for dinner. They suggested eating at Don Chico's Mexican Restaurant in town - it sounded good to us since we always like trying out different Mexican restaurants. The food was very good and we had a good time with Symphony and Chuck - such a good time I can't remember exactly what we all ordered, but it was very good. After dinner Chuck left to go home and we headed back to Symphony's house.
It did warm up to about 55° today and is supposed to be in the mid-40's tomorrow morning.
