Well, it's been a week of riding the two-lane back roads of Southern Illinois for Jim and me. We took a two-day trip to Springfield on Wednesday and Thursday. Because the trip is long and we get bored quickly, we decided to go different ways up and back. Coming back was the fourth time making the trip in all and seemed to be the most straight shot...don't know why we didn't know about it first! Anyway, I think we've seen everything we've ever wanted to see from trailer houses to sprouting corn fields. The best thing was discovering Lake Carlyle and its ammenities; and Chatham and it's hidden bead shop. It inspired me to start making some jewelry again...just as a hobby this time. Wish we'd taken some pictures. Springfield and the capital grounds are beautiful. Guess I'll do that during the week in June when we're there for Jim's surgery.Oh, yes. Jim is having disc surgery on his neck. June 5th is the date. Prayers would be nice. For more info, e-mail us and we'll have details. Better yet, give us a call. 618-214-8610. That's it for now.
Oopps...girls....they're anxiously awaiting end of school. Lilly says next week is going to be super busy for her. She has a field trip to St. Louis. Wow! The class is going to the Arch and also on a boat ride on the Mississippi. (What a field trip!) Beth is spending a day at the Science Center at So. Illinois University. Both are so excited to have advanced to the next grade...6th and 7th. We can't believe it either. Growing up so fast!!! School's out May 24th.
