Hi, Silly Sandi!We moved to Sparta, Mo in 06 from Seattle area and I don't know if I'll ever get used to the weather! LOL I love living in the Ozarks. We're about 40 min from both Springfield and Branson. Let me know if you get down this way! Glad you've joined us on the board. You'll soon have lots and lots of new "best friends"! Welcome!!!!
