But it's funny, now that I live in a big, rambling house, I find myself gravitating towards the cozy little nooks that make the space feel smaller and more enclosed. My dream right now is to turn our attic into an office. But first we need a new roof. And our porch is falling in. Then there's all the painting. The kitchen... the list goes on and on.

I have specific things I want in my home, and like you that includes four bedrooms, three baths, and a few acres, but I'm pretty sure thvolcano is out. Beach is in, Gulf of Mexico is definitely in, even a separate little space for an office, even a Ted's Shed will do provided I can cut a little window in the side... *sigh* "...money and a place of her own..." right?

“…money and a place of her own…” right?

Of course you're used to living amidst possible natural eruptions, but I'll stay put on terra firma...if that exists. ;) Your desire to have a second home at “Kilauea, one that I can use as a writer’s escape and small weekend getaways with my family” sounds fascinating as well as somewhat precarious, Mia.

My dream? A huge condo downtown with a balcony (heck make it a roof top garden since we're dreaming) with a view of the mountains and ocean here in Vancouver. Walking distance to the library, theatre, fresh market and all my favorite haunts. I love the outdoors- but hate to mow it. : ) I have to say your dream place sounds pretty good! My dream?

Of course, I could just move to Hawaii and put all that winter white stuff behind me :-) Maybe a place on a lake either here in NH, upstate NY or in Washington State. And a place that's warm in the winter (but doesn't get hurricanes... so Florida is out). Arizona? The biggest thing, though, is my own office in a sunroom. I work in the basement now. Ugh. Really, it's the little things. I'm still wondering about your place on the volcano, though. It's kind of like building on the San Andreas fault in California. The odds are, you're going to be fine... but you're still tempting fate. I’d prefer two homes – because I hate winters.
