It sounds like California is so HARD right now, and you can only force yourself to "bloom where you're planted" for so long...housing here is getting so much cheaper - I just bought a house in Minnesota on a single woman's not-great salary. BEWARE the winter heating bills, of course, but even so - home is home. I will keep my fingers crossed that whatever you decide, it will work out for you...prairieknitter01http://www.blogger.com/profile/03589667753808874943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-75082886062519986342008-09-01T13:00:19.772-07:002008-09-01T13:00:19.772-07:00That quilt is amazing...I'm in awe of it's...That quilt is amazing...I'm in awe of it's beauty...and how long it took, the dedication and love into it :o) Anything but cleaning--I like that--LOL! I was cleaning a bit today...We leave for the USA for 10 days this week--hooray!
