Thanks JenniKy ... I'm going to watch for it when I am out and about for the month long Shop Hop. I always like to have a visual of what I'm looking for. Mid State looks like a good option, and relatively close to the airports to head off to see your DD. And yes, good plan to avoid the windy city! 
That's really exciting that both of you are feeling it's your dream home. Now to put in the offer and get it for your new Home Sweet Home!
All ... Any more suggestions as to things to watch for when I'm in these different shops??
Already on my list are ...
* JenniKy's book (see above)
* 3"x9" ruler
* supreme slider or equivalent for FMQing (see below)
* goes without saying .... fabric!
* ???
RE .. Supreme Slider or ?? ... what products have you used to get the slipperyness when FMQing. Pro's? Con's?
