I can imagine how desolate it is up there, Kathleen. No, I'll stay put here.
Oh, well, it was worth a try.
Do you ever want to move back to civilization?
Yes!! I would have raced back East -- where I could get a job in my field -- after my husband left. But the kids had already been to seven different schools in seven different years because of the multiple moves we made as he climbed his career ladder; I just couldn't force them to make any more changes. They were suffering enough. Also, now that they consider North Dakota their home base (
) I will probably stay. I have a great group of supportive friends here, too.
I have to say, though, that going back East last summer was so great. It was so good to be back in home territory.
