Another beautiful day -- 80 degrees and sunny with lower humidity -- so we drove up north to bike the northern extreme of the Des Plaines River Trail through Wadsworth Savanna and Van Patten Woods to the Wisconsin border. We practically had the trail to ourselves for the entire 13 mile ride! (This retirement business is sure dirty, thankless, work, but we daily labor to do the job, even if we often have to do it single-handedly!) Here's a shot of Ellen taking pictures of a frog below the bridge over the Des Plaines River. (Did you wonder how I'd get the "frogs" from the title into this post?)
After biking, we headed to Gurnee and celebrated my successful 3 month diet during which I've lost 21 pounds -- by eating a delicious appetizer, Caesar salad, and lunch at Red Lobster. Yes, the appetizers and both our meals had crab meat (hence this post's title.) Here's Ellen photographing her salad. To see her photos showing our main courses, see
her blog.
Congrats on the weight loss. I know how hard that is to do. But you'll have to fill me in on how you do it considering some of the places you eat (Buona, Culvers, KFC, Red Lobster?). These places are delicious, but not waist-line friendly. Whatever you're doing, keep it up!
