About a month ago, I spent a delightful day in Rockford at the home of my long-time friend Michelle Siterlet. Besides having a good visit, we sat and talked about her incredible journey restoring the 150-year old farm house on Whittle Rd. That will be the subject of another entire post! We took pictures inside and out. By early evening we had worked up quite an appetite. So, we ordered a pizza and went to quaint little downtown Rockford to eat at "the dam"
which, as it turns out, is a damn popular dam turned city park complete with walkways and gardens and even a gazebo!The best part was the people watching! A very compelling assortment to be sure! The night in question was also Celtic Fest. We reaped the benefit of being in the right place at the right time. There was music coming from a tent on the waterfront to serenade us during our dinner. Lots of interesting shops and street vendors for our perusal. Of course, the ever popular ice cream joint sitting in a handy location just off the main drag-we indulged ourselves with turtle sundaes. This is a really cute town with some one-of-a-kind shops and nice restaurants and bars along the way. Check it out if you get out that direction. I will certainly go again sometime. Everything was perfect on that idyllic summer night, especially the good company. Thanks Michelle for dragging me out of my rut. Always fun to come your way. Always lots of laughs. You're great on a date!
