The Governor and Me

Kim Paying Bills via the internet and our corner lot next to the governor.


We went to a small campground about 20 miles from DuQuoin on Friday night. There we met up with some of our Elkhart friends from our home chapter of HRRVC. We caravanned in Saturday morning with nine RV’s. If you come in together they will park you together. It was fun. We had the CB’s on and had a great time. We are all parked in one lot and they gave me this huge corner area. It just so happens that the driveway to the Illinois Governor’s mansion is right across the street from me. One week I am just a homeless person; the next week I am rubbing elbows with the governor. Someone called us moderately affluent homeless people. Our friends from Elkhart are really cool. Rose Mary is a hoot and always a lot of fun. She has this handicapped scooter and I am always hoping to find the key in it is I can take it for a test drive. She know this and guards the key. Keith and Jill are lots of fun and Jill is always looking for something exciting to do. When she wants Keith to come back to the Motor home she honks the air horns. Keith is just an easy guy to get to know and is fun to talk to. They have two of those electric two wheeled carts (Segway) you stand on and they transport you around. Marv and Sally Miller are parked next to us. They are experienced RV’ers and look after us. They have a wealth of knowledge and are just the greatest friends. The rally officially starts tonight and we are looking forward to it. I am going golfing with the guys this AM. Roy Clark will be entertaining tomorrow eve.

Mitch & Kim,

I'll never forget Roy Clark & Buck Owens on HeeHaw when I was a kid! I'd ask you to say "hi" to the Governor for me - but the long-running "scandal" in Illinois is that their Governor doesn't actually live in Springfield! He stays in Chicago and flies into Springfield for big meetings! Incidentally, Illinois is a state with an EXTREMELY liberal and corrupt Democrat party and also an unusually corrupt Republican party.
