@Charlene Marolf Welcome to the forum and as a newbie myself will say this is the best seniors forum. Lots of tolerant, kind, talented, and intelligent people here. Great administrator with one simple rule of don't annoy others and don't be easily annoyed. I am working extra hard on that! Enjoy and lots of categories and threads to read.
Well it's a small world, huh? I think I have been to all of those places you mentioned, Rock Island as well. (I have been to the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, have you? A person can't miss the butter cow!) I love Iowa. And how did we both end up in NC? @Shirley Martin and Jerry too, I live just a bit above Greensboro, almost to the Virginia border, in a small town called Reidsville. Just moved into a new home. Thanks everyone for the wonderful welcome. It's much appreciated!
