Gotcha. I grew up in IL but lived and worked in Indy for 9 years
from
89-98. Did a lot of joint research with Purdue. My Mom lived in
IL
still, so I did a lot of driving I-65 over those 9 years.

Where in IL? I was born in Rockford and my father's side of the
family
were all in Chicago.

Kankakee - about 50 miles south of the city. I grew up on the river.
My Mom lived in the same house from '69 until she died in '01.
My sister has her house now.

Now why is this not surprising at all? LOL

Me too! Spent the first 25 years of my life there.

I'm glad the kitties were helped.

That's great! As a former Hoosier, I'm glad Indiana wasn't backward

Cool! The Forest City or something like that, isn't it? Lotsa trees.
I haven't been there in a long time but my mom goes at least once a
year. We still have a few relatives there and she has a lot of
friends.

K3, cool, one of my cousins has a cottage or summer house or something
on the river there (K3). I believe it sustained quite a bit of damage
a few years ago due to flooding.

It's known as "Historic Frankfort" and has cool little shops, like a
candy/ice cream store, a very interesting furniture store with
Amish-type pieces, and a quirky restaurant called Cactus Carol's that
my
former beau took me to a couple times. See

Sorry, I meant Rockford, I thought it was called the Forest City. I
think I read that somewhere a few years ago in some trivia stuff.

yeah, my brother's house is on the river, and it neared his back deck
but never made it to the house. My sister's house is about a block or
so away - so it was safe.

Well, it's nice you have a whole state figured out but, sorry to
disappoint, I was born in a suburb of Chicago and lived there until I
was 9 when we moved to Indiana, northern Indiana. My speech patterns
were already established by then and, anyway, people from northern
Indiana don't have the same accent as those from southern Indiana.

But thanks for caring.

Candace

Oh, Candace, you probably don't even have the loverly South Chicago
drawl..."Chi-cawh-go!"
