Hello and welcome from Japan!!!

Japan! That's a long way from here. My son spent 1 1/2 yrs. in Osaka doing research for his doctorate in biochemistry. I was fortunate to be able to visit while he was there. I loved the gardens.
Thanks for the welcome.

Yeah Springfield! Love the Lincoln Library.

Hope you are geting some repite from the heat.

Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks for the welcome. Have to find Ivesdale on the map. don't know if you are close or not.

You'll have to honk as you fly by exit 54 next time. Thanks for the welcome.

My sisters taught in the Shaumburg area years ago. Gilson is in West central IL about 3 hrs from there. Thanks for the welcome.

I'm not quite sure how this site works yet, but I'd like to thank everyone for the warm welcome. Have a beautiful day- It's actually sort of chilly here this AM.
