This weekend it was across the river to Galena for the lighting of the luminaries

More than one thousand lit up the night,

 We stopped by John and Sarah's  to listen to Pearl and Scott and to warm up a bit.

It was also the opening weekend of the second season deer hunting.  So, we decided to hike the state park hill with the dogs.  There's an Eagle Scout project at the base of the hill.  A new informational kiosk.  

I think we're both happy to get out for a walk and to burn a few more calories so we can eat some chex mix  :}0
