Gonna have to hire Hazel with that Lallapalooza house. No doubt that the entire area is beautiful where that house is.
To each their own. I'm happy for them if that's what rocks their boat.

Believe me when I say we are NOTHING but modest people - always have been and always will be. It sure would be silly to change in retirement. We never had the JONES complex - way too practical for that. We also have always been very fortunate to have friends who are of the same mindset. Some have money and some don't, but we all live moderate lifestyles and you really wouldn't know who has what. My husband and I never moved too far in our thinking and desires from our mostly blue color roots and we like it that way. Like my wise husband says - what makes life sweet is your relationships, not what you have in the way of material stuff.
