Your story about being caught in a huge traffic jam in DuQuoin, IL is hilarious! Talk about making the best of a situation! I lived most of my life in Illinois, though farther north than that. My sister still lives near Decatur. I have been to Mt. Vernon, which is not far from DuQuoin.

Hi Darlene, Thank you for the Xmas Goodie! My birth mother (and I use the term lightly) gave me the name Lynda and my adoptive parents decided to keep it. I looked it up on the net and it means "Pretty one". I like Darlene too :D Did you know it means "Loved One"? That's pretty powerful! Merry Xmas my friend 3687 days ago
