I love the story of how your town got its name. Every place I've lived in Illinois has been on a railroad. I sometimes wonder if there had been no railroad, would some of the small towns in Illinois still exist?Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-64091237751050733812008-02-21T06:05:00.000-06:002008-02-21T06:05:00.000-06:00One more place to visit..Love your story and your ...One more place to visit..<BR/>Love your story and your pictures.<BR/>Where do I live??<BR/>PLaese take a look,<BR/>Gisela<BR/>http://guildwood.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-49530239073230150882008-02-21T06:04:00.000-06:002008-02-21T06:04:00.000-06:00One more place to visit..Love your story and your ...One more place to visit..<BR/>Love your story and your pictures.<BR/>Where do I live??<BR/>PLaese take a look,<BR/>Gisela<BR/>http://guildwood.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-86873855834106122922008-02-20T13:07:00.000-06:002008-02-20T13:07:00.000-06:00To be honest Beckie I can't remember.

We like to go places that the tourists don't go to. We love America and spent lots of holidays there especially when our children were young.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-90521166660133547072008-02-19T22:35:00.000-06:002008-02-19T22:35:00.000-06:00Mary, it is charming here most of the time, and we...Mary, it is charming here most of the time, and we do feel blessed with lots of friends.<BR/><BR/>Lisa, I don't know about the smallest...but a contender anyway!

I haven't been anywhere for 37 years, though, and probably won't.

There are only three properties where we are situated, but we help each other, and that is what it is all about. <BR/>Have fun.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.com
