Bugger this! *packs up her bags, waves good-bye to her parents and hops on the next plane to Oregon*
This looks great, y’know. Only: is this for recreation or for living completely? It didn’t say that. Not that I don’t want to live there … *voice trails off as car motor starts* *waves goodbye*
Hey, I live in Bend, OR already. That’s really cool. I’ll probably go see it.
My dad told me about it a few weeks ago; he said he might send in a bid to do the plumbing or wiring. (He’s a licensed plumber/electrician). That would be cool. Then I could go hang around while he’s working and see everything. 😉
