ah, what a wonderful education C&S was! Thanks to that thread I can work in my pj's til 11! I didn't know you lived in IL! I spent quite a few years in Rockford (no nasty comments please), and have quite a few relatives still there, including a wonderful Grandmother who just turned 91. I went to see her this past September, and was amazed to see some ethnic restaurants there now <ggg>. When I lived there it was mostly Swedes - I think at one point Rockford had one of the highest Scandinavian populations in the US. I had many fun nights out in Chicago though as soon as a few of us were old enough to drive and borrow ID's :-)

I DO NOT MISS those winters. I remember once the tip of my nose got frostbitten. It was totally frozen, like an ice cube. I remember panicking, thinking it was going to fall off (you know the stories of people losing fingers and toes to frostbite). I love a change of seasons, but those winters are taking it a bit too far. Yes, given the choice I'd much rather winter in Houston. Do you have homes in both places???

We will just have to smuggle you in somehow ~;o) About the idle fireplace, you can do what we did in Dallas - roast hot dogs and marshmellows with a cheap bottle of wine<G> If I remember it got cold in Dallas though..
