Restaurant update The Rumor Mill is closed

In case anyone was wondering, The Rumor Mill in St Charles is closed. It opened the next day with a new owner and a new name. Eats and Sweets. They do have pizza but it is not prepared in the cast iron skillets... they said because it takes too long. yes, it did seem to take longer but they were really good pizzas and stayed hot to the last bite. Some have already tried the new restaurant and said the food was ok.

Will just need to find another restaurant that serves good pizza prepared in cast iron skillets.

Supper Rides and More

Wow, September already? Where is summer? We had a few hot days, then some really cool days, and now Indian summer. Leaves on the trees are already starting to change? What is going on?
We have had some good supper rides and some great places to eat. We had a mystery ride on August 31st and went to Benchwarmers in Ankeny. They always have good service and good food. We always are very careful around the TV Stands on the walls there. Don't want to receive a concussion like Glen got one time.
Labor Day, was To be announced, but with everyone gone doing things with family, we didn't have a ride.

Some went to the Davis Rally... It sounds like several riders had some difficulties. Dave and Betty Oleson from Minnesota had an accident and Dave is not doing well. Betty was having wrist surgery today, Thursday...Sending our heartfelt thoughts and prayers their way.

Monday Sept. 14th was our first ride led by our ride captain, Bill since they returned. We had a great ride to Georgio's in Colfax and had a good group there. Since Bill and Dee will be gone on their anniversary, we gave Dee a sympathy card, and then them both a 50th Anniversary card. Dee laughed.. not sure what Bill was really thinking :) We love you both and missed you being gone a whole month.

September 21st we are going to Italian Village in Adel...if it rains as forecast, we can 4 wheel it.

Monday, September 28th, we are going to Kin Folks in Altoona. That will be the last of our official supper rides.

Saturday, September 26th is Applefest in Woodbine. This is a great time. I think some of us plan to go for the day. Chapter Z Nebraska usually does a ride and is a chance to connect with more friends.

October will be Impromptu rides if anyone wants to ride and the weather is good.
Colorama is October 9-11 in Harrison Arkansas this year.

Some of us are not going to be able to go. Our first fall Chapter meeting is Saturday, October 1oth at Felix and Oscars in West Des Moines at 6:30 p.m. We have several very important issues to discuss at this meeting.

Everyone be very alert and Be safe
