I know. We live in Rochelle, IL, about 30 miles south of Rockford. The weather's also been a real issue here. Still lots of snow on the ground although much has already melted. Then we had rain on Wednesday and in the 40's on Thursday. Thursday evening we had water coming in our basement because of standing water around the house. We got a channel dug to relieve that, but there's still a lot of runoff coming once the temperatures warm later this week. We're not looking forward to the flooding. And you have a lot more snow than we do. Sheesh.
Good luck on your church hunting.
We've got snow up to our armpits and 40 degree weather on the way for all of next week. It's going to be one big, sloppy, muddy mess. (The dogs will see to that, LOL!)
I have a 1906 farmhouse with the original fieldstone foundation. You want to see a wet basement? I'll have one in a few days. Grrrrrr!
And thanks for your kind words. :)
