OT: Moving To Texas (Or: Go West, Young Lady) ** Was: Back to Duty

[Guest guest]

Location, Location, Location and moving.

 

I'm another one in a holding pattern. I'm hoping my next stop is Spokane in

22 months. I know the time line is pretty accurate but the rest...

 

Sometimes Vermont creeps in my thoughts, as does Oregon. Mainly because

Himself is not sure he wants to move to Spooky Town...

 

I know I want trees, water, 4 seasons, good education for the kids and a

town/place that is fairly liberal in it's thinking. Spookaloo is NOT

liberal, but it has it's liberal enclaves. I'd also like to be around family

which I haven't been since I moved out over 25 years ago. Which makes

Vermont almost a no-goer.

 

Time is passing to slow right now, I just want to finally get to my " Forever

Home " . At least until I'm wherehoused into the old folk factory.

 

Glad you're back Butch. Missed your pithy posts. And how is the little

Liberal Pacifist doing? (ROFLMAO!) Tell Tanya I said hello and that I was

sure happy to meet her.
