Dreams come true. Without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them" ~John Updike~

I live in the suburbs of Chicago with my husband of many years. We have a daughter who is happily married and a practicing atty. in Providence, RI. I'm originally from SE Florida and have family all through TN, LA, AK, TX, and MO so my roots are definately southern although I feel very at home in this beautiful area with all it's seasonal changes. Right now we have a lovely new layer of snow which I love. It gives me an excuse to make a pot of Chicken and Dumplings. Have a wonderful day. :)
