8/12 Something to think about...

[Billie]

We decided to do things differntly this weekend, to not join our friends for coffee, but have coffee on our patio and just enjoy each other and of course the dog.

But we have found a fun web site that I wanted to share with you. It is just something to do for the weekend, to think about and have some fun.

It is called: www.findyourspot.com

You take a short quiz, about 6-7 pages but it goes very fast and it will send you 20 cities to live in that best fit your personality, your needs and wants. Gabe both for example like water and colder climates, my friend took it and she was located in the mountains another friend in the south.

For our non-US friends it is only places in the US, but see where you would end up as your number 1 and share with us. Most of mine were all in the northeast and my number one was Providence Rhode Island and Gabe's was Boston Ma.

It is a fun thing to do and that is what weekends are fun, having some fun!

Enjoy the day, make it great for you, and let us know where you top spot is!

OH fun, well it looks like the NW is a fav, and why not--gosh it is beautiful there CM!

Bloomington In are far away from there right now? That must be pretty settling, to know you are in minutes or hours away from your top pick!

One of Gabe's came out to be Champaign Urbana Illinois, which is about 50 minutes from us, too fun guys and that's what weekends are for!

Oh I see a theme here

Oakland, CA
San Diego, CA
Los Angeles, CA
Orange County, CA
Long Beach, CA

All came up in my top 10!~

Apparently I got it right. Also, Washington DC is in my top 5, and I moved here (LA) from Northern VA.

How funny!

Now someone explain how Little Rock AR got in there?
