The place you live sounds amazing. We talk sometimes about moving when the boys graduate. But I really can't go anywhere that cold. My hands and feet get numb when it is below 60. We would like to go somewhere cheaper though. But the tricky thing is DH will loose all the years he built up in his school district so we feel kind of stuck here for now.
I did hear about the tornado. They happen around here everyonce in a while. The sun is even out now.

Currently I'm praying for no rain on Tues when the boys take their drivers test!
