Tuesday Roll Call
Morning all and happy day to those that happen in later on in the day. I was awake way too early this morning and almost started the roll call at 430am. We stayed up talking with our guest until about 945pm and then I could not get to sleep right away. I think I awoke because I am a little over tired. Speaking of our guest she is a delightful person with grown children, a nurse but now a government worker in her home country of South Africa.
I have a function at work tonight called National Night Out (NNO) on the muni complex. Many cities, villages and towns have NNO every year on the first Tuesday of August. Free food, entertainment, games for the kids, free public pool to name a few. Hopefully the skeeters are not too fierce later. They have been bad after the rain on the 24Th.
What is going on in your part of IL?
this is what I posted on FB regarding NNO:
Christine Crosby Bennett National Night Out - join your community, neighbors and town citizens in generating awareness towards crime and drug prevention, participation in local anti-crime activites, create and strengthen neighborhood spirit and partner with your community and the police to send a message to ciminals that neighborhoods are organized against crime.

Hello everyone
Well on my way into work i noticed some flooded streets. If rains much more I don't see how RT 30 will be passable. when I drove down RT 30 it was pretty flooded. I also notice a lot homes along Wolf Road had a huge lakes in their front yards. Well it will be interesting to see how it looks after work.
I am looking forward to my long weekend ( I have Friday off).
Well I seem extra tired today. Hopefully the day goes by quickly. Have a sunny day.

Good morning Christine and the rest of Illinois!
Almost every night is like NNO in Rock City! I am fortunate to live in such a great place.
My week is going to be pretty much the same all week-----tech week for the kids' show on Sunday. Last night, I painted a couple of the stage pieces and will continue that tonight.
I AM looking forward to tomorrow night....David COMES HOME from Jamboree! I will be excited to see him, but will not be able to go pick him up as I have to be at rehearsal. OR....maybe I will just drop the girls off and go pick him up and go back and get them......that would be a lot of driving, but I am anxious to see him and hear all the stories he has to tell. We will see.
Everyone have a spectacular day!

Out early to get Sherry to the 6:28.
Coffee at Uptown Cafe and waving her off from under the awning in the rain.
Home to water the balcony and get ready for a coffee gathering at Robert Morris Graduate School of Management. Put on my italian leather loafers and wore them all day without any problem. Had the shined at Nordstum's. Haircut at a new barber on Wilke that I think I am going to like. Two links out of my watchband at Sears. Walked from Sears to JC Penny and back.
A day of many things I could not do a year ago. Now I need to go see tomatoes coming on. I need to learn a bit more about squash. Article online says they may need to be hand polinated but so far all I have seen are female.
