They will be serving Buffalo, Pheasant, Duck, Venison, Salmon, Turkey, Chicken and all the “fixins.” There will also be a Silent Auction. So, mark it on your calendar because this event is really nice and the food is so good.
Native American Presentation
There will be a very interesting presentation by Chief White Winnebago on “Ho-Chunk Native Americans, an Illinois Indigenous Tribe.” It will be held on Saturday, Sept 27, 2025, from 1 to 2:30 p.m.at the Henry County Historical Museum, Bishop Hill, IL.
Navy/Aircraft Carrier Presentation
I think you will also find this presentation interesting, as well. I will be giving the 1 hour program from 10 to 11 a.m. on Sunday, Sept 28, 2025. It will be held in the Military Room at the Henry County Historical Museum.
The Woman in Black
This play at the Richmond Hill Barn sounds like a good mystery for sure. It will be held on October 2-5 and 9-12, 2025. Admission is $12 per person. The play is not recommended for children under age 12. For more info go to: rhplayers.com or phone: 309-944-2244.
Humers
All this summer we had 4 hummingbirds at our feeder. Of course, they spent more time chasing each other away from the feeder then sitting down for a drink. In the past few days, I’ve only seen one, a female. I think the others have started their track south. Just as well as the bees have pretty much taken over the feeder.
Flowers
Kind of sad to see the flowers starting to fade away. Not yet, but soon we will be bringing inside some perennials for the winter. It is nice to see the beauty of the golden-yellow soybean fields especially when the evening sun sinks in the west. Even with a good neighbor’s help, yard work and trying to keep up with the weeding, gardening and so on, it’s been really tough for us.
Humor
For we seniors: 1) Talk to yourself. There are times when you need expert advice. 2) “In style” are the clothes that still fit. 3) You don’t need anger management. You need people to stop irritating you. 4) Your people skills are fine. It’s your tolerance for idiots that needs work. 5) The biggest lie you tell yourself is: “I don’t need to write that down. I’ll remember it.”
