Traveling back to IL!

I met my mom in IL for a quick weekend.  She had her high school reunion & we also met her sister who recently turned 90!

Beautiful weather.  Wide open spaces!  Corn & soybeans look good 

The creeks are full

A lot more windmills near our home town 

Our old homestead-uninhabited so looking a little sad

We spied a pheasant!  He was quick so it’s hard to see in the below photo

Said Hello to my dad and other friends who have passed 😢

The ‘town’ house my parents lived in after the farm.  A friends daughter & husband have bought the home so it’s well loved.

My sisters old home

Colfax!

Lunch with mom’s friends at a new eatery in town.  It was good!!
