Joanne,

I am responding to your gas stove part. I have had both in my life. I really have no preference. I do cook a lot and like to cook and even had a couple people say I cook well, but I am really into how the kitchen LOOKS.

We chose our house in Hadley because of it's size, location and price. It was brand new and it wasn't until we got down here with our "nesting items" last week that I used the stove. Just like everything else in the house I was pleased. That little beauty went from 0 to 60 in a short time. (In other words it heated up quickly for an electric stove.) I have a very nice, newly remodeled kitchen in Ohio with built in sub zero etc. But I like my new Camellia kitchen just as well, with it's smaller refrigerator, and no stainless steel. (YES. I said that).

Come on down girlfriend. But never over extend. NEVER. Not in these times.

Your new village buddy,

GracieGirl
