We visited the Illinois State Museum located right here on Rend Lake. They boost exhibiting the works of over 750 Illinois artist. It was an amazing place. They had quilts, ceramics, photography, jewelry, pottery, paper art and the list just went on to every kind of real art you can think of. We especially liked the recycled works (Tom’s new Rock Band….”The Tinmen Group”….now playing at an RV park near you) and the very large ceramic roosters. It was a fun place to visit and gave us some great ideas for future projects. Now, if I could only learn to light the welding torch without taking off my eyebrows, then I could make some birds and bugs too. Hmmmm....
The rest of the weekend we did laundry in Sesser (population; 2128), took the dogs for a swim and then gave the dogs baths. Sesser is a stop sign in the road. It is so small they do NOT have a traffic light. Just one 4 way stop. One Grocery store. Two gas stations. A Public library. One Laundromat. One ice cream palace and a dozen antique shops. A very cute and laid back place. Today we went back to Sesser to buy milk and bread and explore an antique shop as long as we were there. (Tom still does not get my fascination with “old used stuff”.I'm working on that one.)
