I had a penfriend in Wisconsin, as a teenager. I'm currently trying to find her again after we lost touch years ago.<br /><br />Mary - we may not have been where our hearts are, but I'll never forget sitting with you beneath the stars in Ohio!<br /><br />Mac - you're back! What happened? We could hear you but you didn't seem to be able to hear us. Glad you finally escaped - and isn't that a fantastic excerpt, Amber really seems to have got inside Bliss's head. I felt I was really there with them!<br /><br />Hi Rebecca! Lovely to see you again. A cabin in the mountains with a log fire and one of Amber's books sounds idyllic! Help yourself to refreshments, there's plenty left!<br /><br /><br />Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-91024480761068468002013-09-27T22:45:08.541-03:002013-09-27T22:45:08.541-03:00I love the mountains too, just so there is cabin w...I love the mountains too, just so there is cabin with aroaring fire in the fireplace, as I know Lilly would rather be at the beach, even on cold days!

It's sad when you can't afford to go home, because rich people have bought all the land and there is nothing affordable. There's no place like home and Vermont is the same way for me as Wales is for you sweetie.<br />I have only driven through Arizona and it was just amazing. And it's wonderful if you feel at home there!!! What's it like Amber, suburbs? Or mountain view? I hear it's not humid and a great place to park yourself! Where is everyone else living? <br />Mac, I hear your screaming. Are you looking for another Martini? What can I do to help. Sorry, no pie for you!

But, up North the thought of six months of winder...<br />So I want to be a halfback, what the people at Cooper's creek, In NC, said I was. For moving halfway back to NY. I never knew people felt that way, I just wanna live where I love the countryside myself. And not hear my neighbors every word, living in a suburb.
