Billy Wardle Happenings

 Charity turned us on to this restaurant downtown off of Jackson at about 12th street as a place to go for good French onion soup.  Sheri really likes French onion.  I go for the salmon--but the salmon dinner is too expensive so I have a salad with salmon.  The dinner salad and the salmon are both excellent.  I will also have soup there.  Sheri really likes their French diponion soup and I think that is all she has ever tried.  Tony when he went had the Salmon dinner.  I would not give this restaurant the highest of marks but pretty close.  

 This is our first venture to a new restaurant, albeit a fast-food chain.  Who ever heard of a fast-food Italian restaurant.  We went to the drive-up window.  Sheri had spaghetti and meatballs, I spaghetti without meatballs and Tony Chicken fettuccine.  We also had bread sticks.  Tony said his meal was excellent, especially the chicken.  SHer i said hers was passable.  Mostly she ate the meat balls.  I enjoyed my spaghetti.  The portions were super large.  I have been eating spaghetti everyday for lunch and still have plenty left over.  The bread sticks were excellent.  The price for everything was a little steep for fast food, but isn't everything lately.

 Illinois really over does with their rest areas with playgroundm arge grassy areas and picnic facilities.  These are the Great Saul Trail.  They are on the I-80 which I traveled to see Jeremy. westbound eastbound

 An annual tradition in South Bend is the Notre Dame screening to the movie " Rudy. "  It was cool being in Notre Dame Stadium.  The sign board even announced the score of the game.  Students were on the field, while local families sat in the stands.  I attended with Jeremy and his boys.
