[g] I even got the city on Scotland correct.<BR/><BR/>As far as the rest, I had difficulty discerning any major differences. I guess I need to travel more!<BR/><BR/>DianeDiane M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05235754355858953561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-22176919573680784582008-10-03T13:08:00.000-04:002008-10-03T13:08:00.000-04:00Midge:My parents grew up in Chicago.
