ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of moving to my new (old) farmhouse and getting my home ready for sale, so I only have time to read here and there. Once settled I will start at the beginning... I want to read them all, like a novel.
Just a small correction to one of the photos. Dubuque is in Iowa, not Illinois. It is only 30 miles from my new place. There is an East Dubuque, IL, however.
If you ever have the time Google Galena, IL. It's an old lead mining town with lots of history in the hills of NW IL. I'm moving to Elizabeth, IL which is a small town about 15 miles away. You've inspired me to learn more about my new area once I've settled in.
Keep up the great work!

Dear Linda, I apologize for any mistakes In grammar or spelling. At times my fingers fly faster than my thoughts. I'm anxious to have you read from the beginning which is about 8 years ago. Some stories may overlap and my first couple years I was just learning how to tell the story. Maybe not as interesting or as lengthy as they can get now. LDub
