November 6-8, 2024, Champaign, Illinois

 High of 57 and partly cloudy.



We arrived at my sister house. The bus on the brick street. This is Judy's house.  We  have to back the bus into this tight turn off a narrow street. This is her second house that she bought so when she visit's her daughter 2 doors down she would have a place to stay. 



 It was pretty difficult getting it into the driveway. John had to take off the hitch to go over the dip in the road. Beautiful fall tree. 



I cooked dinner and we ate at my sister's house. Beautiful older home, built in 1915. I made this piece of stained glass for my sister years ago. It is still one of my favorites.



Judy and John walking in fall color. Statue of Lincoln in a  near by park. 



John  on the horse and Judy with interesting statue. Fall colors



Fall colors. John made butternut bisque and Judy a salad and we took them to Jill's house for a tour. Beautiful huge house, nice dinner and great to see Jill and her house. 



Judy and John walking into the Arboretum  a the University of Illinois. University of Illinois, part of the Hosta garden (John thought it was the pasta garden and could not find pasta), Do not disturb gravel, rocking deep purple salvia.
