I’m unclear about this: Might you be transferred to San Diego? I think your house is lovely. Take this from someone (and spouse) who truly live in the fugliest girl on the block in our San Diego County neighborhood. It’s all Persian Palaces and Spanish villas…’cepting for our “dollhouse,” which is big enough for us, and that’s all that matters.
I am personally interested in your tale because my dad’s brother (they were both brought up in Chicago) still lives in OK, even though he is retired and has plenty of retirement income. His roof has been torn off three times by tornadoes. I am sincere — what is the appeal of OK? Did you grow up there? If so, I understand. We’d like to leave So Cal but all of our family is here.
