I noticed your location remark with your avatar.
Location: The middle of an IL cornfield
My summer vacation to Branson, Mo took me through your state twice and I remember seeing a woman in a corn field holding as sign saying "help me". My DH said your tractor broke down and you had to plant by hand while I thought she wanted to be rescued.
Was that you? (smile)
On a more serious note, we've decided not to fly anymore. We just don't like the TSA ability to feel you up. And we had more fun stopping as we headed to Branson. We took a short detour to Joplin, Mo. and made a donation of one days worth of vacation money to the Salvation Army Tent where we broke bread and had fellowship with those working, the homeless who depend on those meals and of course the wonderful souls who are The Salvation Army.
On the way home we spent the entire day near Lincolns Tomb, the museum, shops and eateries. I recommend to anyone to stop in IL there and take in the beauty of your state.
