I thought Tenn. was beautiful when I was up there, but I don't think I could find a job as an interpreter and live in the country at the same time. We actually would like to move to Maryland. There I could have the best of both worlds.
This is the kind of place I would love to have. The only thing I didn't add to the pic is a stable with a couple of horses. And an aviary. And a rabbitry. And a couple of goats. Dream big, don't I?
