Few choices in specialists

Even the nice weather was getting boring and we had to go farther and farther way to find more interesting things to do .

No where to work for a decent wage if I wanted to work a day or so in retirement.

A competitor of ours that’s a chain is in homesdale ….they offered half of my ny salary while expenses were down only about 30%.

Everything we could want was already here in queens where we lived.

So we sold it and don’t regret it for a second

It's been another year. I'll give this another bump. Anything new or changing north of 84?

Still love it. Peaceful, quiet and great place to getaway from the hectic DC/Balt area. Winters stink, but summers are great.
