Kim's Story
Life
Well, we've been living in the Carolinas now for over eight years and as much as I miss home (and, yes, IL will always be home) I don't miss the winters! My old (ok, aging) body & mind just can't deal with that extreme cold anymore.

I find that I have become content with my life (who ever thought that would happen?)and have found more joy than I could ever imagine by becoming a GRANDMA!! I am looking forward to spending as much time as I possibly can with that little boy as he grows! Hope all is going well for everyone, and, maybe if Im lucky, I will run into a few of you (not literally) while I am up visiting! Until then, take care & keep smiling!
