Nancy's Story
Life
I live in Elizabeth, IL, about 130 miles west of Chicago.... A small town of 700 people. I have been married to Stan, 18 years in March, 2012. I have 3 children and 3 step-children, and 15 grandchildren! . I was an owner of a local bar and grill in Elizabeth, called Duallys , we sold the bar 2010., but I still work there part time! My husband and I had 3 horses, and put on our own trail ride every year in September. In Sept., 2006, I was bucked off a new horse and broke my back,..I was very lucky, a week in the hospital, and I WALKED out...the healing process has taken a while, but I am back to work, and ...Expand for more
thanking God & my lucky stars! I was back in the saddle on Sept. 29, 2007! Rode for 3 1/2 hours, and felt great! At the Doctors request, I don't ride any more, so we sold the horses, but still hang out once in a while with our trail ride buddies! Sitting by the campfire AFTER a ride was always my favorite time anyway!
The reunion in Nov. of 2005 was the BEST time...saw lots of old friends, and have remained in touch with many. I am not sure if I can make it to the 45th in Sept., but I will try!
Still searching for old friends....funny how when you get older, memories of good times just keep getting stronger!
