20 years ago today, I moved to Massachusetts from New York (the state, not the city). It was snowing.

Back then, I could fit almost everything I owned into my car. Some days, I wish that were still true; that I could just pack everything I needed into the trunk and take off for new adventures in new places. But roots have dug deeply into the New England soil, and most of my family (both blood and chosen) live here.

Still, a winter home someplace warm wouldn't be unwelcome. *g*

That makes me think about the fact that I'm still here, too. We came because R. decided to go to graduate school at UMass (out of several widely divergent places he could have chosen), and I had no predictions for what would happen after that, but now it's almost 25 years later. I can't think of too many reasons to go back to the Midwest, even with blood relatives there, although if I had no ties left here, I might go find a spot out there in an artists' colony I've heard about.

I'm certainly glad you're here, too -- it was an interesting turn of fate that we met!

It certainly was! We've lasted longer than a lot of marriages. *g*
