PHOTOS FROM SEPTEMBER 2011
Ron and I drove out to
Peoria, Illinois where
Ron interviewed for a
head swim coach
position.  A job offer
was not made to Ron
but it was a good trip
and we learned quite a
bit. Ron enjoyed this
stop in Eureka, Illinois
to the east of Peoria.
I enjoyed an afternoon in the Luthy Botanical Gardens
(even though it was 100 degrees on September 1st)
A mystery
bush:

I knew there was frangipanni from the smell!  Hare on trail instead of
wallaby as I had seen in Australia (the last time I smelled fangipanni).
NO MORE DUCT TAPE on our back door!!!
Between job searches and research for starting a USA swim team in
Ontario County, Ron has been working on his 1968 Monaco 500.  
Our backyard is covered with these mushrooms:
