Given the chance to go anywhere...

I’d end up in East Texas or Central Oklahoma. Very pretty areas. Nice and green in the spring and summer and real winters. The one thing I really miss about where I am now is winter. It just doesn’t seem right to never have snow.

I’d find a nice acreage and plop a house down right in the middle of it. A big white farmhouse with a wrap-around porch. And a huge cellar. If I’m going to hide from tornadoes I want to be comfortable doing it.

My family and friends would be scattered nearby. Not close enough to see into each others windows but close enough to borrow a cup of sugar or drop by for lunch.

The Husband would have a little bar. Or maybe even a bowling alley. (Things that he dwells on constantly.) I would homeschool any kidlets for at least their elementary years.

We’d have a vegetable garden (Vegetable garden? Ha! What other kind of garden is there?) and my Mama would help me can. We’d have goats. I’d use their milk to make soap.

We could go swimming in the summer and sledding in the winter. The kids would be able to roam around in the woods like I did as a kid.

Oh, how I loathe suburbia.
