Thanks for your help Annie. I have been sticking it out for over 15 years but I'm 45, still single and renting an apt. so I can't afford a lot of things. I do sock tax money away and am very frugal but figure I've been doing this long enough and would like to have a plan just in case and also for retirement.
So I'm leaning toward taking that job if offered and "know what I'm doing it for" as GL says in House You Live In...
Now as for good old "Skannie", I couldn't afford to stay there so I spent an afternoon there with friends, and stayed in Marathon.
I ate at the Bluewater Grill and just kept staring at the lake. You fortunate people who live near it are blessed. SO pretty!!
Didn't look like there was any public swimming. I went in Oct. and put my fingers in the finger lake. And I got my t-shirt I always wanted 'cause I like the name Skaneateles. We just stayed on Genesee St. the main drag, and shopped because it was raining out. That water is amazingly clear.
I grew up in VT on a lake called Memphremagog and there's a brick walkway along the lake.
They should put one of those in Skan. so people can walk along the water, but there are a couple nice parks and the gazebo.
We loved it. Fortunately it isn't really that far from me either (Concord NH)
