Make it a September to Remember.
September marks the crisp & beautiful transition from the heat of summer into the golden, cool days of Autumn. A fantastic group of residents help make 200 peanut butter & jelly sandwiches for St. Vincent DePaul, homeless shelter. Thanks to Kristi from Hospice of Southern Illinois for helping and delivering the sandwiches & Toni our wonderful head cook for mixing the peanut butter and jelly ahead of time for us. The group had all the sandwiches made, bagged and boxed up in less than 40 minutes. Great team work.

Wonderful way to cool off on a 🥵 hot summer day, Oh Sugar! Ice & cream, in Waterloo, IL. Hardest part was to choose between all the different flavors, the free samples helped. Thanks to the amazing staff for their service and hospitality, very caring ladies.

We stopped off at Fort Kaskaskia to view the Mississippi River from the scenic lookout and drove by the Pierre Menard State Home site. Afternoon blessed with Cherry & Jerry preforming dedicating their performance to the late Gene Haller, one of their biggest fans. Truly touched by your authenticity.
