Curb Appeal
We hired this Carbon Cliff company to do some landscaping work. At our age it was just too much work to do ourselves. I must say they did an outstanding job. Dave, Kim and their crew were super nice to deal with. We also had them do some much needed work on our lawn, both the front and backyard. Curb Appeal is located just pass the Rock River bridge heading west. Take a right at the light and you’ll see the place. Their showroom has a ton of gardening and outdoor related Items. Their phone number is 309-762-2724.

Grover Cleveland’s Grandson Here in Geneseo
I would think it would be his “great-great” grandson that being George Cleveland, but that’s what a flyer shows. George Cleveland will be at the Central Schoolhouse Inn at Geneseo on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, from 8:30 – 10:00 a.m.
You can break breakfast bread with George at his table as he tells you with little known facts, stories and anecdotes about the former U.S. President.
For reservations to dine with George, contact Tim Pletkovich at 309- 253-5377. Grover Cleveland was President from 1885-1889 and again from 1893-1897. Grover Cleveland was the 22nd President and 24th President of the USA.
Humor
Why did everyone find the baker funny? Ans: He had a rye sense of humor.
A woman frantically calls the fire department to report a fire in her neighborhood.
The dispatcher asks, “How do we get there?” The woman replies, “Don’t you still
have those big red fire trucks?” The reason I worked at a bakery is I needed the dough.
