A handwritten map in a fancy note card arrived last weekend, from my dear friend Crystal and hubby Jim. She made the map because their beautiful new home wasn't on mapquest yet. Nestled on a pond stocked with fish, and shrouded in a thick wood, they pulled up stakes from our little village and relocated to their retirement home that they built and designed last year. We were fortunate to have helped them sell their home, and quickly during a difficult market, and they in turn found their dream property, an hour and half drive from ours, in the middle of farm and amish country.
