Yippee our first corn maze of the year! |
 |
| This isn't a corn maze this is a corn field down the street from Grandma's house. Last time we were in Illinois I picked some corn from this field for decorations and we did it again this year. |

| Saturday we went to (hm, I can't remember where we went) some town about twenty minutes from Don's mom and we spent the afternoon at the Rhodes. Ann and Tom Rhode are friends of Don's from when he was just a little kid. Tom is a doctor and Ann is a pharmacist. They live on 50 acres. Ann home schooled her kids and is into being self sufficient. There land is great. They have a pond and grow tons of soy beans. Ann taught Sean to drive a golf cart which he thought was awesome. Tom has some really cool vintage cars in his garage which Don really loved. It was a pleasant afternoon. Whenever I go to Illinois I am always in awe of how quiet it is. Everyone we stay with lives in the country and the nights are just still. Our house is so noisy because we live near the freeway and in a neighborhood. Sean commented on how dark it is. There's none of the light pollution that we have. I always enjoy going other places and seeing how other people live. There is so much diversity in our country. Centerville is not a big city but it sure is commercial with all the stores and stuff. We have green, blue and black garbage cans. Ann doesn't get garbage service so the compost, recycle or burn. We are so dependent on others. Heck, we have to have someone come take our garbage away. |

| There were lots of frogs in their pond. Sean would clap and watch them jump in the water. |
