Bipartisan Spirit

This weekend we trekked to Dixon, Illinois for my Aunt Dorothy's memorial service. Because we were up at the crack of dawn on Saturday (thanks to the time-zone change), we had a little time on our hands before the service. Just enough time, it turned out, to visit the boyhood home of Dixon's most famous son, Ronald Reagan. So in the spirit of bipartisanship, here's a pic to counter the Hillary pic from last week.

And on the right there, you can see that Dixon, being the very respectable Land of Lincoln town that it is, also had a giant Abe statue in its riverfront Presidents Park. A two-fer for presidential photo ops in just one morning!

As for the reason for our trip, I will likely blog about that another day.... it was one of the best funerals I've been to in a long time, a real celebration of Aunt Dorothy & her life. But I'm not quite ready to go there yet today...
