We call NE Ohio home....although I've been away from the forum for a few weeks visiting relatives in Tenn. and Alabama....Hey, Heartsong - I saw you're from AL. We're considering retiring in the tiny town of Bridgeport! Husband's family has some property there and we have a 5 year plan beginning with some sort of a cabin.
My soap babies are all born in Johannesburg, South Africa.
They are quite adventurous though, so some have travelled to Tanzania where they decided to make a home for themselves and others have ventured all the way to England and Ireland.
It is not easy "letting go", but I guess they have to make their own way in the big wide world. I have 160 newborns in the nursery now so at least I won't be lonely for a while
