I really haven't done that as there's not an actual newspaper for this area, believe it or not. Most things are found out by word of mouth. But, my girls and I are looking for another place for me to live which is closer in toward a more active and "community type" area. I am pretty far out of the range of "normal" things and I don't like that. Hopefully, when I do move down closer into the busier areas, there will be more to do. One thing I actually even thought of driving to Frederick, MD for is the St. Stevens Scottish Society of Mid-MD. I was very involved in that for several years and absolutely loved it. There is nothing down here even remotely similar and I actually thought of driving up to their once a month meetings; they have 2-3 a month when it's closer to May as they have a Scottish Festival, which I so much enjoyed being part of. I had a "heart to heart" talk with my oldest daughter yesterday, told her I was not happy and had thought about going back to Frederick. She really doesn't want me to do that so we're on the hunt for a new place closer in toward "civilization." There's also a better chance of getting a part-time job in that area as it's full of all sorts of little eclectic stores everywhere, and of course the big ones are there too, but I'd love working in a small glass shop, pottery place, etc. Anyhow, I've babbled on and I'm sorry. Guess you deduced that my family is Scotch - we're MacPherson's. Thanks for writing ..... I needed that today.
