Little cabin in the woods?

11/8/13: NO DESERT OR BEACH FOR THIS KID!

I long to live in the mountains once again but hesitate to leave family and top-notch medical services as far behind as I must in order to move back to Big Pine, CA.

So I went online to check out real estate in Alpine and Julian, CA. There's a very small cabin for sale on a half-acre of wooded land! Built in 1930, it sports a big deck where I can see myself sleeping on warm summer nights. There'd be room to park Maybelline and Harriet, and the cats would love it! I feel so excited that I know I must go lie down and wait for the fit to pass before I leap once more into a situation I cannot bear, like the one I feel I'm in now.

I'm keeping a list of the things I must ask before committing any foolish moves. Julian was the first place I thought of moving to when I contemplated moving to San Diego County, but I chose instead to move as near my sister as possible. I can just see it now: I move in on a bunch of unhappy black widows and termites to an uninsulated house with single-pane windows and an outhouse.

ANOTHER SMART MOVE FOR ANT KATHY!
