It has changed so much that I will be homeschooling my children, our towns population has gotten ridiculous and I hate the class sizes! I just have been praying that we can find a nice area to live and raise our family, times are so scary and uncertain these days!<br /><br />http://www.peacefulislandmother.yolasite.comLindsey Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04536937894055983301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985211159621672227.post-86357047338819346582010-09-01T20:14:40.391-04:002010-09-01T20:14:40.391-04:00I live about an hour north of were I grew up.

I wish I could still live in the same area I was born and grew up in, but my family had moved across different countries. I feel fortunate to call San Franscisco Bay Area my home, but there are all sorts of challenges living in a high-cost city. Thanks for your kind comment in my blog. It was very hard dealing with my father's death. But my daughter's hugs and kisses have kept me going. I am glad I stumbled upon your blog as well - your posts are inspirational and have the tone of gentleness and kindness.

The most important part about having a new home though are the new memories you make there. Regardless of where you choose to build your new family/home I think it will be special because you'll make it special :-D. <br /><br />Gosh mama H you just have this effect on me.

There are days I feel like a nomad, never really having a place to call home. Though I make it home the best I can while living there. We're not near family though and that is very hard. Boy, I could write a whole post on this! I hope you have a wonderful day.<br />Blessings<br />JillJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904921240840944999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985211159621672227.post-87336315573105841302010-09-01T13:12:05.277-04:002010-09-01T13:12:05.277-04:00This is something I am still struggling.

It seems like people are too busy to say hi to their neighbors, kids are rarely outside playing, and if you do see someone then it's just a quick hello. Where I grew up that's a different story. Everyone knew one another. Families would hang out in their yards or on their front steps and would say hi to people who walked by. If you were having a small party it wasn't odd for a neighbor to walk over. I miss that and hope one day that Abby has that!Kaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820883410111345623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985211159621672227.post-23904670198188262512010-09-01T06:21:55.864-04:002010-09-01T06:21:55.864-04:00There are totally nicer places than where we are n...There are totally nicer places than where we are now.

One of my friends was visiting another state (I can't remember which one), and a woman whom she did not know actually smiled and said hi; my friend was surprised -- people don't usually do that here! What a shame! I wonder if people in that state are generally that nice? <br /><br />I am blessed to have some great neighbors; we all look out for each other and we trust each other.
