ThistleDown, are you looking to adopt? I'm a good cook, and Bob is handy to have around. . . That is just a lovely house!

One of my sisters and her husband moved into the Santa Ynez Valley (long known for Solvang and later, unfortunately, Michael Jackson's "NeverLand") as first-year teachers. They rented a small place with the mailing address "The Little Ranch House, 40 Acre Farm, Solvang CA" or something to that effect. Not sure if it's still there or if the wind has finally blown it down That would have been in late 1970s. . .

And another sister and her husband built in the Sierra foothills east of Chico CA, named their place Windridge although it has a street number and name for USPS. Was looking for a pic of their view over Central Valley, but best I can come up with is the flock of wild turkeys that wander through the front yard several times a day
