I did two pages for the most recent 5210 prompt - one was about how I came to live here and the other was about where int he world I would like to live.
OK so it is never going to happen - well maybe I should never say never but it is quite unlikely now we are old.
But we would love to love in Las Vegas. Not the glitzy Strip, but outside Las Vegas, perhaps in lake Las Vegas.
Why?
We love the climate - hot dry heat. We love the desert. We love the fact we would only be a few hours from family (and we couldn't afford california prices). We love the fact we would be near Utah, the canyons, the mountains, the parks we love. We love the area. We'd love to live there.
Yes we have house hunted.
Yes we will be house hunting again this summer and who knows .... one day!
The tag pulls out and explains all.
The photos are of houses we looked round.
It is good to have dreams - so long as you don't let them dominate the here and now.
My quote today is
Today I am thankful that
- I met my new boss and feel very encouraged about the future
- The sun is shining and it might still shine at the weekend.
Lovely page as always Karen but you forgot one thing on your list of reasons to live there - what about all the fab scrap goodies they get way before we do?
Never give up on your dream - we have just bought (or nearly) our dream cottage - it may not be anywhere exotic but it is what I have always wanted

Hello Karen!
I don't download the prompts, but thought I would comment anyway.
I love to visit your site to see what you're up to. Your pages are lovely!
I thought about joining 52 in 10, but unfortunately I'm living through the most depressing, soul-destroying year of my life and just can't scrap. It's as nothing compared to the people in the hospice that your donations help, I know, and I wish I were in a position to donate, but.....
I don't want this to be a "down" comment.
Keep going. Forget about people who can't or won't raise their game to your standards. The world is full of them. Refuse to lower your standards or expectations to the "lowest common denominator". Do things to your own standard - if nobody else joins in, at least you'll know that you lived up to your own standards. "To thine own self be true", as the Bard said. And he was right about so many things!
On the days when you wonder why you bother putting in so much effort for a bunch of ingrates, please know that there are casual visitors to your site (I know I'm not the only one) who would like to send you, Nigel, and the fur babies the biggest hug for brightening their day. We may not always leave comments, but we're grateful nonetheless.
With hugs and thanks.
