I have a home in North Fl on the ST Johns River where I quilt in the winter. and then go to my Houseboat in May in KY and stay on the lake till Sept and do all my piecing of tops in the summer. So I think I have the best of both worlds. I even catch fresh fish weekly. Lots of thrift shops and quilting shops around and a days drive from Paducah. On Herrington Lake, big 35 mile lake close to Lexington. SO I feel blessed.. home state is KY. CMARAS1234
