Weekend

It’s Monday. The weekend weather was absolutely spectacular—and honestly, it’s been gorgeous for the past couple weeks. On Sunday we took the Vette for a scenic drive up to Lake Holiday, Illinois, a charming community built around a picturesque 328-acre man-made lake between Sandwich and Somonauk. The lake and the homes lining its shore were stunning. I’d love to have a place there for the summer. Anyone wanting to help make that possible can make their way over to the donation section.

One thing that caught my eye on the drive up was how many homes were already decked out for Halloween. We were especially surprised by this one we spotted in Sandwich, Illinois. Despite the exterior being under renovation, the owners still managed to find the time to put up the Halloween decorations!

One last thing… I recorded the Bears game against the Lions and watched it when we got home. Now I wish I hadn’t. It was brutal for the Bears with a final score of 21-52.

Damn Fall

It’s Friday! The days are getting shorter, the evenings cooler, and before long we’ll be reaching for the thermostat to turn on the heat. Fall sneaks in like that—one moment you’re grilling in daylight at 8 pm, the next you’re fumbling to turn on the lights by 4. No doubt about it, Fall has crashed the party, unpacked its bags, and made itself at home.

Hey there! It’s that magical time of the week when I showcase amateur photos sent in by my readers. If you’ve never submitted one before, go ahead and send it in—your masterpiece might just get featured anonymously right here on my site.

Plus, get ready for twice the babes and twice the jokes! Enjoy!
