I grew up in a small town. Got married and hubby got a job in a large town 100+ miles away so we moved to the big, big city. I hated city living till I got use to the city life - as in shopping centers. LOL Hubby retired and we moved to a small, small town. How I miss city living - as in shopping centers.

Spencer known for his Spencerian penmanship. All of my children and grandchildren live nearby.

I was born & raised in Houston. As a child I went to East Texas to the country & never wanted to come back once I grew up. I told myself I would never live in the country. I have lived in Texas, Nevada, Colorado, California and now Nevada. For the last 7 years, I have been in living in the country. Now I think it is nice to come out of the woods and visit but after so many days, I am ready to go back!

I was born in Brooklyn New York. I became an adult in the early 70's when NYC was in bad shape. When my husband and I got married, we moved to Long Island, about 70 miles from NYC. It is the 'burbs. Now that we are approaching retirement, we both would like to move back to NYC. My DH even volunteers as a gardener in Central Park. Maybe someday

I started out In Buckeye AZ with lots of extended family nearby. My dad moved us to Phoenix when I was 7, lived there till college in Indiana, where I met my way in the future husband. Graduated, back to Phx for the next 30years, reconnected with Joe, who left Illinois and moved to Phoenix a couple of years ago as my husband. He was driving around looking for houses, and discovered the perfect neighborhood for us in Buckeye. Here we are, with extended family nearby. I have come full circle.
