Oh my GOD, MamaRed I just noticed you are from Wauconda. I lived in McHenry off of Pistakee Lake for 14 years. My husband and I owned the Speakeasy bar right near the train station on the main street in Fox Lake. We use to pick apples in the apple orchard off of Rand Road in Wauconda, and buy cider and apple pies and fudge. Oh so delicious. Also there is a small grocer next to that big plastics plant, the name escapes me at the moment, where they smoke their own meats. The bacon and hams were to die for. I loved Wauconda, small, cozy and so green... It would be a hoot if we knew one another back then. My ex also had a big white van he sold all sorts of merchandise from to the customers of ALL the many bars out there. He golfed with Mayor Joe Armodo and Chief of Police Lou Volke...What a small world.
