Hey Ladylunch thanks for the info! A couple of things. Jim is medically retired through the military and receives a pension so we're good on that end. I stay home to be his caregiver. Kids are grown, etc. Just me, Jim, the cat and dog. We currently own so hopefully we'll make enough off this house to put down on another. I have a plan to be mortgage free in five years. It can be done!

As far as growing, I would grow hydro most likely.

And lastly, no way am I ever going to move back to Illinois once I am gone. Born and raised here but it's lost it's loving feeling. We must separate. lol

Oh and we're also considering Colorado too. We haven't made our minds up just yet.
