I was born and raised in a St.Louis suburb, Granite City, Illinois. The muddy Mississippi is home to me. Have lived in Alexandra, VA and then clear across the country in Idaho Falls Idaho. I was so glad to come home after 8 years away, I absolutely love this area. Have been in all 50 states and many countries but home is best for me. I know exactly where Dexter, MO is and have been there. Used to work with a gal from there also. Remember chiggers ?

I was born and raised in Berlin, Germany. Married my hubby and we moved to Fulda, Germany for two years, then on to Giessen, Germay. Next stop was Incirlik Air Base in Turkey.
After two years we moved to Anniston, AL, then Wichita Falls, TX. Then Beale AFB, CA, we stayed there for five years (longest stop ever). Next move was to Dallas, TX. After 15 months there we moved to Cheyenne, WY. We stayed only 9 months in WY when we got orders to Misawa Air Base, Japan. Next stop??? who knows, we will know that next year around August.

I am from the Philippines and have lived in the US for 45 some years. We lived in the Bay Area for many years and decided to move to Vancouver, Washington. I worked for the Clark County Health Dept for 19 years and recently just retired. I love staying home with my husband who is also retired. I have a detached shop at the back of our house where I do my quilting. He is going to make an addition to the shop to accomodate the long arm machine he got me as a gift for retirement. I am so blessed and I thank God for everything I have.

We also feel that way about the house that was orginally owned by my material grandparents back in Brooklyn, in a few years it will have been in the family for 100 years. After my grandparents died ownship passed to their son, my Uncle Tony, and now it belongs to one of his daughters and her DH. We were all upset when our his daughter, my cousin, said that they may be selling the 'family homestead' as her DH has retired and wants to move out of state.

I grew up in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. We moved to Key West when first married, then out to Louisiana for 4 years, back to southeast Florida for the last 38 years and now are fortunate to live part of the year in the mountains of North Carolina. The hardest part of living in two places is transporting my quilting!!
