Loved Marble Falls and that area. Went to HS in Houston. I was very glad to leave the Texas heat and politics. Plus very little social safety net.

I love Oregon but getting discouraged looking for my forever, old lady, low income retirement abode. I was substitute teaching to help pay rent, but DOE attacks has caused those gigs to dry up precipitously. Scrambling to downsize.

I am also open to overseas. Looking at Mexico, Panama so far.
