I don't know how far I could get on $50 here. It's an interesting
thought to pursue, but I'm thinking that Springfield, Missouri is my
favored destination for some reason.No, actually I do have a reason
that would make no sense to anyone else, but I'll tell you anyways.
When I was driving around there years ago, I spotted abandoned stone
cottages which have been on my mind recently. ... as a place where a
book could be located.  Location, location, location. And how would a
person go about rehabbing such a stone cottage for modern living when
she knows nothing of such things? See? Totally hopeless. Monte Carlo
would be wasted on me. Chicago, not so much. Just driving Lake Shore
Drive fills my heart with ... well, it's filled with something.  But
it's snowing here, and it might be snowing there. Nothing is gonna
fill my heart unless it's those beans simmering in the crockpot.
