As I look around today, that is the overbearing feeling I get.

Now if I could just figure out the proper response to effect a turn around of events. So hopefully it will be found, but in the meantime, I prepare for whatever may come!

Sorry you had to come back... I know you loved it there!

I'm with you on that. A group of friends in the mountains was discussing the stock market. A poor lady who is 65 was saying that without investing (and the gains), she won't be able to afford to live there any longer. So she's getting back in. I kept thinking of all the sectors that the government is now controlling - financial, automotive, soon-to-be health care, .... and thought there's no way I'm getting back in now! Maybe if people vote smart in 2010...

Thanks - you know me so well! But I've come up with a devious plan that will allow me to stay there for several months at a time after my son heads off to the Air Force. We've been looking at houses on acreage and was planning on selling our current home after buying another. But since we're not comfortable with the market and how much our current home will get is only a guess - I suggested that the cats and I move to the cabin while we try to sell this home after our son leaves. That way, we don't have to worry about people letting the cats out, about fur all over everything, and the general hassle of leaving/keeping the house perfectly neat for showing. Hubby pretty much keeps it nice the few hours he's home at night. Pretty diabolical, aren't I? ;)
