I was born in Mo., lived here most of my life except for short stints in El Paso, Tx and Brawley Calif. Have lived different places in Mo., but have been in Central Mo. close to a town called Boonville, Mo. for the last fifty plus years. Haven't seen a lot of people from Mo. on here, where are you Missourians? We have traveled over a lot of US, the favorite being the western part and have talked about moving to the southwest where it is warmer, but getting to old now, need to be where we can get help from the kids if needed. Presently live in the country on about 14 acres and thinking of moving into Boonville, as it is getting more than hubby and I can take care of. Presently live underground and know we won't live anywhere as economically as we do now, so hate to leave, but know the time is coming. So if anyone wants a small acreage with a 3200 foot underground home, let me know, maybe we can work out a sale of somekind. Meanwhile it is great to learn where everyone is from and living. Wish I could take a tour of the country and visit with each of you and get acquainted. Think it would be so much fun. Happy quilting to everyone. themachinelady
