Clocey...I had a friend who lived on Frye! There were some nice homes there at one time. Oh...and Glen Oak Park...we used to take our family picture there every Easter Sunday in front of the flower house ( I know there's a real name for it but I can't think of it right now!) and I don't even know how many times we went sledding on those hills when they closed them up for winter.
Tink's Mom...I spent a lot of time at Sheridan Village! We also had friends at our church from Rolling Acres. We went to Averyville Baptist Church and the school there.
We just got home from Canton (just West of Peoria) a little while ago and 74 East out of Peoria turned into black ice. We saw so many cars in the ditches and a guy in a pick up spun around behind us and went in too. We slowed down and took it wasy but I called 911 to get some help but they were all tied up with a semi that jack knifed and some cars that turned over on I55 where the 2 come together on the West side...it was a mess and I'm sooo glad to be home!
I tell ya...this Central Illinois weather is something...yesterday we got caught in a tornado and today a small blizzard with black ice...you gotta love it! |
