Bob,

Oh, I forgot to mention that my husband is miserable out here and longs to be 
back where he has more socializing with friends. Not necessarily culture of 
any sort (unless you count drinking beer and watching LSU games with a room 
full of friends as culture, lol). He's building the house, but I don't expect 
he will stay full-time once that is done. He'll probably live half the time 
down in LA with his daughter and look for a contract job out there that will 
allow him to be there for weeks at a time and then spend a couple weeks here 
and just go back and forth that way. It's okay with me - I'm not leaving 
here. As you mentioned bonding with the land...these hills have gotten a 
tight hold on me now and they won't let me loose and I don't want them to. 
But I understand his need to do the game-day things and he seems to 
understand my need to be here watching sunrises and sunsets in the mountains.
