Hello Everyone!

[AdMaven]

Love your forum! A little background: I lived in SWMO in the early 60's when my dad retired from the US Navy (Aurora)and then my parents moved back to California. Later in my 20's I moved back again with my first husband. I've been back and forth a few times, even a few years in NW AR, but mainly back in SO Cal...but SWMO has always been in my heart. Just had a hard time earning a living as a single mom(working two jobs to make ends meet got old).

My husband will be retiring in June 2014 from teaching and we will be moving back! I work from home so as long as I have high speed internet and phone lines I am good to go. We found property near Shell Knob/Campbell Point and I will be flying back early next month to see it. One of my brothers lives in Billings and already checked it out for me.

I am excited to be coming "home". I told my hubby about this forum as he is excited to be able to walk a few feet and do some fishing. I even bought him an early Christmas present yesterday at Bass Pro (yes, we have BP out here!)..a new rod and fillet knife.

Welcome:) Was the Bass Pro stuff for a surprise gift for the hubby? If so I would bet after telling him about this forum the surprise is blown. Better get bask to Bass Pro and get some more goodies.

No, not a surprise, just an early present...I wanted him to pick it out! Will surprise him with something else on Christmas morning.
