Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Doris, I do think that I could put you up in the spare bedroom. Some times daughters can be a 'pain' when we're not used to being around them 24/7, even though we love them dearly. <smile> Keep us posted as to whether us in the Midwest will get a chance to meet you! Now that we have a new car to drive, at least I'm more assured of getting there and back, no matter where we meet! ~hugs cindy Subject: Re: bad news (long)-midwest visit great news, ..I hadn't thought about how close you were, or Bonnie or> Louise to Milwaukee.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Hey, Doris--if you're on your way to Duluth, too, you can stop here to visit me! I'm in Eau , Wis., right off I-90, about 3 hours north of Milwaukee! And, we have an extra room, too! (Wave to !)

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 ....one of my good friends is from Tomah...not too far from you, right?? she may have relatives there but not sure..will ask her..she's a frequent traveler all over the place, while I'm basically a homebody, and just like to go and spend time with people, not do the running around tourist thing... I get that in books..seen it, been there, done.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Heyy... I'm going to be teaching a workshop in Viroqua in early November. I understand it's also near Tomah.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Doris, Tomah is very, very close to me (half hour to 45 minutes south, right off I-90, too). OOOhhh, I can hardly wait! I'm just like you, too, basically a homebody. But I don't mind traveling alone when I know how to get where I'm going! Looks like you will definitely have the time of your life with us in Wisconsin! But, hey, it's not *that* cold in Eau , where I live. I'm kidding, yes it is--we had frost last night already!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 That's coming up pretty quick for me..sounds great...I need to get my meds straight before I can travel...plus I have memories of ICE SKATING behind my house in Duluth in NOVEMBER. That's scary to me now after 30 years in the desert!

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Yes, Louise! Viroqua is just west of Tomah! When in November? Maybe we can get together, huh? I'll have to check the map for sure, but I know it's less than 2 hours from Eau , where I live. Is it a singing workshop? RE: midwest visit > Heyy...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 , can't fool me with the warmer in the south stuff or further from the lake...I spent the first 36 years of my life between Milwaukee, Wauwatosa and Duluth with visits to the UP as well................it's cold after October and still that way in May sometimes. I like the two weeks of summer that Duluth has...actually, no, I like the Indian summer best of all...summer is too humid!

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 I'm trying NOT to get too excited by the trip...I'm going to have to wait until I get these meds straightened out. Hard sledding right now, and having allergic reactions to something in the air here, have taken some benadryl twice now and getting red all over and itchy........I'm hoping for spring or fall.. says she lives or will live around the area too...so this should be good.....yea..haven't had enough excitement in my life lately!!!!!!!! heh, heh, like Joan and Elsa weren't enough... It will be a few more months before my meds are reduced/added to a safe degree and then I'm raring to do something, and this sounds like it would be a whole lot of fun;;;maybe not tell the daughter and have her come HERE another time..seems like we could all keep pretty busy...don't think that will fly, but hey, we can dream, right?? blessings, Doris Re: midwest visit > > > > wow...this could turn into a major event in my life...thanks > > ................ > > blessings, Doris > > Well, Doris....since has made her " bedroom " in the basement, her room > is still open!

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Thought I'd chime in here...... any chance of all of you meeting somewhere around Chicago? I live three hours south of Chicago, but would be willing to drive if it weren't too much farther. I'd love to get together with you too. I can never get to the Michigan/Indiana support group meeting because they have their meeting on my school board meeting night. {{{{{{ Hugs }}}}}} Copeland, HEDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 . I'd love to have you here, too!!! ANY time! Just call to let me know you're on your way!!! It'll be the same distance from Eau to Appleton area as it is to Janesville-only it looks like we'll take Hwy 29 over that way, instead of interstate. I get excited thinking about getting together again! Subject: Re: midwest visit ....., maybe I can go down to 's to visit! (I'm > inviting myself, !!

Heartland states are typically Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, Kansas, Mossouri (I think) and Nebraska. At least those of us IN Oklahoma consider that to be the 'Heartland'. Generally speaking ... Oklahoma is the Heart of the Heartland. Peggikaye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Jill, This sounds great doesn't it? Hope it comes about as soon as Doris gets her 'southwestern' behind up in this area, or we'll have it without her. I'm getting closer to Canada with each move! May make it to a picnic yet-usually August isn't it? (There is another branch to the company and it's in Upper Peninsula of Michigan! Hope we don't get sent to that outpost-lol) Subject: Re: midwest visit > It sounds as though this is turning into a Midwest Conference! > > What a wonderful opportunity for you all to get together! > > Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 I have always considered Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri to be in the Midwest. Love Lana p.s. Also, I consider NEBRASKA (LAND OF THE MIGHTY CORNHUSKERS) to be the very BIG HEART of the Heartland. <smiling proudly> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 So here's a dumb question for everyone in the U.S. When you all refer to the 'midwest' the 'heartland' 'new england' etc. What states do these include? New England I know, but the rest is a mystery to us to the north! Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 I'm from Wisconsin/Minnesota myself and I'm thinking the midwest is generally ,made up of those two states plus Illinios and Iowa. When looking at the whole continent,they would probably be in the middle, and when the country was first settled, were part of the move West. justgessing. Oh, don't want to leave Michigan out, sorry Joanne, there may be others that I misssed...
