Access to shopping is something I hear friends around here talk about.  
Even before rising gas prices. It would be most interesting for we  
homestead listers who have homestead property to make a list of the  
ten most important things to us regarding location of home. I suspect  
that criteria changes after one has been in a place for five or ten  
years.

The only thing I seriously do not like about Heartwood is biting  
insects. It is notable that insect population was not on my criteria  
list in 1976. If it had been . . . ?
