We spent 7 happy years in Corvallis. Three of my children were born at Good Sam's (Good Samaritan Hospital on the outskirts). We were poor grad students at the time of course, but the town was lovely and the people were great. There was always something happening at the college and the international flavor of the university crowds hasn't been duplicated anywhere else I have lived. Do take time to get an ice cream cone in Albany. Some of the best soft-serve ice cream and it was cheap!

Very happy for you hope you get everything you need and want!!!

Oh ya, and Jan and Lou, the owners have taught in Sisters at the Quilters Affair for years and years. Two of the sweetest ladies you ever want to meet and great teachers. Shop is located in an old Theater in downtown Philomath. Jan

Big congrats on your news!!!! OH wait....we don't know anything. So if anyone asks any of us on this board, we know absolutely nothing of your pending plans. ;)

Happy hugs for you both.
