Clinton's Symphony of Lights

Every year the Clinton Park District puts on the Symphony of Lights. Running from Thanksgiving til the end of December in Eagle Point park,its a sight to see. This year is special because they replaced most of the old lights with new brighter LED lights. They are cheaper to burn and don't burn out as fast. This year I had no little kids but my sister (56) old lady Gimm (60) and Lulu (51) all kids at heart.

That's My Name Don't Wear It Out

I saw this street name on a delivery sheet back when I worked at Montgomery Ward. I thought this can't be the real name of a street. Well years later I google mapped it and found its not that far from my new place. Three houses on it.

Out my door November

All the plants have been mowed down for the winter.

Rest Stop

The girls got big girl bikes so we had to take them out for a ride. We went up to the gas station and just had to stop and get something to drink...Helmets and elbow and knee pads came into play this day.

Just a Little Walk

I got Jan and Kathy to come over and help make mints. I fed them first then we made the mints then I thought we should go for a little walk. I got them all the way over to the park in down town Rock Island. That's about 6 miles. The River is really high

Object d' Art Bettendorf Edition

Down at the new Waterfront Convention Center in Bettendorf are these pieces of Art. None except for the first one had any kind of name on it. I don't know if Keyway is the artist or what it is?

Bix 2010

Worked the Med Tent again this year. Didn't take my cel phone to take pictures because it was raining. I took my nice camera that is water proof...I got it out and went to take one picture and it said "Battery empty"....after the race and all the other excitement I took it out for one last look and got this in the parking lot of the Quad City Times. I don't know anyone in it..

I Asked Them To Do One Simple Thing

I asked them to just stand still while my camera did it's panoramic shot...Could they NOOOO!!!

One of the mileage signs on the bike path. We headed to Davenport across the Arsenal Island.
