That’s exactly what I want to do, and your state is one of the ones I’m considering.
We’d be happy - and lucky - to have you!
I’m in the NE, in the Appalachians. It is beautiful here! I can send you pictures. People are nice, as long as you answer the 2 questions right that I got asked when I first moved here - how do you vote and where do you go to church? They unashamedly asked me both, which was a breath of fresh air after the veiled-PC in California.
