Visiting in Illinois

Boy has most everything changed since I was last here in 1999!  But it is GREAT to see so many familiar faces!

My brother Chris & his family are very hospitable.  Patty is a GREAT cook! 

Drove around the old neighborhood and towns where I grew up.  Having easy access to Chicago Dogs is very nice.  We have even stopped at a White Castle! 

We are in a campground in Volo, Illinois for the whole month of September.  It is north and west of Chicago and about 30 minutes from most of the people we are visiting.  After if stopped raining the first week we were here, Terry found a nice bike trail to ride on.  Kathie found a couple of Curves that are fun to workout at. 

Here are pictures of some of the people we have been able to visit so far.
