A Night In Chester (003/365)

TIME:  6:57 PM to 8:43 PM
PLACE: Chester, Illinois
SUBJECT: Sign

The husband and I moseyed on down to Chester VFW for the annual gun club Christmas-Dinner-in-January soirée.

I amused myself by seeing what kind of photos I could take from where I was sitting. 


Hangers.  Hangers are fun.

Playing with the fish-eye function (taken by the husband).
Gotta love that Stag beer.


The floor was cool.

I’m seated closest to the door on the right in this centerpiece reflection.


You know that detail from my Coach boots from the 1st? 
Here’s a full view of them.
Nice, huh?


On the way home we passed St. John’s Lutheran School.

…and the Chester Mental Health Center.

I also made HH stop at McDonalds in Red Bud so I could get an iced tea.

I didn’t take a picture there.
