Yep, GA means Georgia......South Georgia to be exact. My dau lives in Atlanta too, and we lived up there for over fifteen years, then moved to Jacksonville, FL for seven years and moved back to Georgia almost 4 years now. We are far enough inland now to hopefully stay away from the hurricanes, because this is our last move. haha
Sounds like you've move a few times too, mamatobugboo. MN is a long ways from Alabama. I have a good friend that lives in New Ulm, MN, she was a neighbor when we were in FL, but when her husband suddenly died of a heart attack she moved back to be close to her family.
This really sounds like a wonderful forum, and so nice to be among so many quilters.
