Fiftyandfine,
Forgive me if I should know this and have forgotten, but have you shared here in the forums how you came to live such a geographically diverse life? Sounds fascinating and I'd love to know more...if you've already told all elsewhere in another forum, remind me where to go (but be kind) and I'll find your story there.

Hey Eagle,

I don't mind sharing one bit--especially since I'm supposed to be working on some things for my Master's program and I would rather procrastinate this afternoon. Actually, I think I shared some in the Introducing another FL gal thread in the Welcome section, but probably not my "geographical diversity." (How cool is that? You've just given me a whole new way of looking at myself!)

It's actually not all that fascinating and is rather simple, really. I was born the daughter of a USAF officer and a Newfie. I made the rounds as a military brat before marrying a military man. Once that particular servitude was over, (not the military, it was the man)I moved around within the US out of a restlessness that lingered for a while. Met and married my current husband over twenty years ago. We pretty much stayed put in Colorado.
I spent time in China because my last formal employment was as a project manager for an international adoption agency. And I ended up in Florida because one of my kids is here, I like the weather (hurricanes excepted) and when we moved here last year, housing was still spectacularly cheap.(Our house value has almost doubled since last year. OH YEAH!)
And that, my dear, pretty much covers this geographically diverse gal!

This post reminds me of a modern day joke....

The teacher asks the class whats the name of our countrys capital?
Little Johnnie raised his hand and answered, Washington, D.C.
The teacher then asks, what does the D.C. stand for?
For a minute it was quiet then little Janie stood up and said; D.C. stands for dot com...

Woooooooohoooooooooooo!

Always lived in New England. Don't want or plan to live anywhere else. But, I do spend 2 weeks a year in FL now and will most likely spend more time there when we retire. We moved around a lot when I was a kid, but it was mostly between 2 or 3 cities and not far from where I am now. I've never lived outside of MA but I spend a lot of time in NH and ME and once in a while CT. Used to vacation on Cape Cod years ago, but now we prefer to go north.
