I like it that the daughter of Sarah Palin bought her own house with her own money. My only regret as that she did not buy a house here in New England as we need more of her type out this way.
I can see her dilemma; buy a home in a place that has cold winters, or one that has warm winters. Plenty of experience with the cold ones...
Move to place where everyone hates your family and will give you the cold shoulder, or move to one where a lot of people actually like your family and will give you a warm welcome.
Tough choices.
