Cortland and then moved to Bedford...near Cleveland for a job then to Austintown for a job...and now back to Cleveland guess why? yup for a job. This one seems really good though. Hubs hates commuting and as I will resume substitute teaching in the fall, I can live anywhere. We had a house in Austintown which I am selling and one in Bedford. The kids needed a place to live when we left Cortland as they were attending YSU so we bought a HUD house and fixed it up. I am knee-deep in plaster and paint which is how I keep missing posts! Where are you now?
