Myrna and Joe were born and reared in Taylorville, graduated high school and went off to college. We were married in 1963 and lived in such places as Wichita Falls, TX, Great Falls, MT, Waipahu, Oahu, HI, Edwardsville, IL, Pasadena Hills, MO, Chesterfield, MO and then back to Taylorville after 36 years. We became innkeepers on a whim in 1994 and have enjoyed almost every moment of it.
