RCTYers in Northern Illinois

Sorry, I am only 25 miles south of central Wisconsin.

Hugs & God bless, Denniss & Gail

Well, I USED to be from central Illinois (near LaSalle-Peru) but now I live in Virginia. My parents are still there, but sadly, neither one knits. I used to go to Moline for band contest.

Cheers,

Laura M

Central Illinois, 30 miles from Indiana border.

Hello Gorgia,

I am about 30 miles souths of Wisconsin between Rockford and Chicago.

I go to Salem, IL once in a while.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Cheers to you Laura,

I played foot ball in LaSalle-Peru and Moline. I went to Sterling Township High School in Sterling, IL.

Before I went back to college I worked out of Troy Grove on the Chicago and Northwestern Rail Road.

I know the LP are pretty good.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Small world. I lived in Moline from age 6 to age 12 and I still have several family members in East Moline and surrounds.

I'm originally from Tampico, IL! What a small world! Wouldn't it be interesting if you were on one of the opposing teams when my older brothers were playing football?

I now live in Freeport - about an hour and a half east of the IA/IL border. We moved from Tampico to Stockton, IL - after I went to college in Denver, CO my parents moved to Wisconsin.

I still have relation in Tampico, Rock Falls, Morrison and Stockton/Warren.

Lori,

We live about an hour east of you!!!

I have relation in Morrison and Sterling yet. I go there often. Gail says to often.

They have a knitting group in Rockford. The info used to be in JoAnns on East State street.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

This is rich!

I get to that JoAnn's periodically - am headed to Rockford this afternoon. I've not found the best deals on yarns at any of the JoAnn's, but somehow find the right time for sales at Hancock's, Hobby Lobby and Michael's. I DO, however, manage to come home with armloads of wonderful fabrics from that particular JoAnn's - they have a much better selection than the one we have here in town.

If the two of you would like to meet somewhere, sometime, for a cup of coffee, let me know! I'll be there! We can compare notes on who-knows-who..... Just send me a message offline.

Have a great week-end!!!!

Lori

My MOM lives in Rockford (well, Loves Park to be exact), my cousin Lorriane lives in Rockford, my cousin Barney (Bernard) lives in Davis, my cousin Renee lives in Elgin, and my cousin Mitch USED to live in Mokena. Being an ex Chicagoan (born and bred till age 16!!) can I be an Honourary member of the IL clique???? Love, Noreen

You sure can Noreen, we will keep you in touch!

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Lori,

That would be great!

Gail is a master seamstress also. She has made me 3 piece suites.

I plan to be at W.R.Crafts on Monda at about 1 or 2. They are going out of buissiness. I purchsed sport weight yarn at about a dollar a skien. I took home over 60 skiens and about 25 skines of sock yarn.

It is on the corner of Alpine and Riverside, Next to CUBS food.

Gail said coffee would be nice. She is in a wheel chair now so entry to the building would be important.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Noreen

P.S. Noreen you and Don can come also :)

Does your mother Knit?

YES, Dennis, my mother DOES still knit, and she DOES still crochet! Love, Noreen

Dennis,

I've been so wrapped up in Commencement this past week that I've hardly had a chance to breathe, but it's over now - I came home yesterday and slept all afternoon and evening.

I'll be in Rockford Tuesday afternoon if you and Gail would like to meet me for coffee?????? Send me a message offline to this address if you'd like.

Noreen - any time you plan on being "home" in Illinois, let us know and we'll get together. As an honorary "Illinoisan", I think that would qualify for a celebration - don't you?

Love & Hugs,

Lori

Sorry group, this should have said "To Dennis & Noreen". Guess I'm still a little cotton-brained this morning.......
