Sycamore, IL - Jul 26, 2010

We started out this morning rather late 'cause we were busy being nosy. Our neighbors were all getting ready to leave. Had to see how everyone managed their getaway. We were headed for a Wild Life Museum and passed this gorgeous house. It was the Paper Doll House.

In the front yard of the house above was this beautiful old old tree.

When we got to the museum, it was closed so I took a picture of the theater across the street. I'll show those people at the museum!!!

Well, we decided to find something else to do so we drove to DeKalb, IL to see what the Eygtian Theater was all about. Only open on Thursdays!!!

OK let's find something else. We drove down the streets of DeKalb and saw some interesting buildinga.

These towns are old and have some really pretty buildings.


We had lunch here. Haven't eaten at one of these since I was a kid. (when they were 10 for a dollar)

All right, now we're headed for Ellwood House. A couple of pictures from the main road.

Don't know if this is the groundskeeper house or the mother-in-law house.

A pretty big playhouse.

Hmmm, wonder if he belongs here?

Back of the house.

Gorgeous flower gardens.

You'll notice that we never got pictures on the inside---closed on Monday. We can't decide what this building was used for. I never saw a silo with windows.

Eat your heart out Connie. This was the only thing open I think.

This is downtown Sycamore.


Drive around town houses.

Wanna buy this one?

Even the courthouse is devoid of people.



We came home and watched the fishermen. Thank you for allowing this.

Looks like DeKalb is a pretty nice town to visit. I like the old homes and buildings. Nice theatre there!
