Constant Commentary

It's common knowledge in our circle that Lonnie and I plan to move far, far away once the kids are grown and moved on to their grown-up lives.  If nothing else, it's been something fun and interesting to research and talk about, and spend time daydreaming about our exotic lives in Thailand, Costa Rica, Australia, India....  you name it, we have talked about it!
