Del Rhea’s Chicken Basket, Willowbrook, IL, Rte. 66

Located on historic Route 66, Del Rhea’s Chicken Basket has been serving up fried chicken baskets since the 1940s to hungry travelers on Route 66! It’s cheap and delicious and you won’t find a better corn fritter anywhere!

Thanks to my friend Anne and her twin sister Jenny for taking me and my husband here a few weeks ago. The interior is decorated with a vintage chicken kitchen theme. Hee!

And the light-up flashing neon just beckons you in, no? What a great place! Thanks, Anne!

Rosie the Riveter Paint-By-Number

I like Rosie the Riveter. I found this paint-by-number kit at a hobby shop back in Flint, Michigan. I had to have her. I painted her up (and some of the numbers on the board were labeled wrong so it was like hard work–hee!–and she now sits in my cube at work, looking me over and finding me slightly less cool than her liberty-driven mission. I edit naughty books and she made planes to fight the Nazis. She’s got it all over me.
