Who needed toys when you had 2+ acres of forest behind your house?

Grew up in Vermont. Retired in Georgia. A whole hell of a lot cheaper here.

Sitting behind a couple of nuns at a baseball game (with their habits partially blocking the view), three men decided to badger the nuns in an effort to get them to move.

In a very loud voice, the first guy said,

“I think I’m going to move to Utah, there are only 100 nuns living there.”

The second guy spoke up and said,

“I want to go to Montana, there are only 50 nuns living there.”

The third guy said,

“I want to go to Idaho, there are only 25 nuns living there.”

One of the nuns turned around, looked at the men, and in a very sweet calm voice said,

“Why don’t you go to Hell …There aren’t any Nuns living there.”

I would like to have a Ity bitty bikini shop at daytona beach

I have land in the mountains of Southern Colorado - will build a place in the next 5 years, if life goes according to plan. Vacation place now...retirement place later :)

Either Ashville, North Carolina or Napa Valley in Northern California.

I would like to have a little B&B in Vermont with you.
