[quote=Anonymous]My 800 sq foot Montana getaway.  I really miss this place. We could walk to the restaurants, walk to the clubs, walk to church, walk to the post office, and walk to get our groceries and catch the free ski bus to go skiing. We could also walk to the thrift store.  We could also walk to the senior center where I had free senior yoga classes.

We loved that place. My boyfriend picked up a job out there and we worked there for 4 months.  He had me buy a bike from the thrift store.  It cost $10. He rode the bike to work every day.

The negatives....it was very challenging to get a plumber or electrician.  You had to treat these guys very respectfully.

I ultimately sold it due to my sister putting freeloaders in my personal unit when I was not in state.  (See other thread about 2nd homes.)

I have an IBD so we have not eaten in restaurants in over 15 years.  I'd say in 15 years we've eaten out maybe 8 times when friends or family forced it.  I prefer our home cooking now.  The restaurant food is over salted and many times very processed.

Mom passed away last year.  She had a very classy wardrobe.  She was about 10 pounds less than me but I can wear her tops and coats. I get compliments anytime I wear the Mom clothes.  In fact, I'm wearing a pair of her jeans right now.[/quote]
