Love it! Go there as often as I can. Maybe I’m just running into all the friendly tourists … but … then again I told one realtor about my experiences and she just said I knew how to bring out the best in New Yorkers.

And why not? They’re a stubborn lot. They know what they think and why they think it. Not a bunch of bleating lamb wannabes.

And that explains why I love NY and barely tolerate Oregon.

I’ve actually started a settlement process in Putnam County … considering moving out of Limbo. If I can just stop waiting for the next hard turn in the road, I think I could adjust. ... for example … even now my husband is speaking to an old customer who is now in the West Indies … somewhere near Venezuela!! ... and my heart is in a panic! ... He’s saying no, no No Way.

But then again … I’m even further north and soon the snow will start … and then what?
