Living in one of the most beautiful places in Illinois along the Mississippi, seperated from Iowa by the river. We are on a main road, but in the quiet country where you can breathe fresh air and hear the birds. I have been so blessed to be able to live this way for the past 32 years. Our kids are grown and out of the house, no grandkids yet, so it is just my husband, me, and the cat, living in a huge house, semi retired, finding our own interests and loving every minute of it.
