Nest Full of New

I was so tickled and fascinated by this I couldn’t resist contacting Estately to get permission to post this for you!  Many thanks to them and, if you’re planning a move anytime soon, be sure to give them a look.

I live in Atlanta now.  All I can do is shake my head and say “just stop it, Georgia!” Good grief!  My second favorite is New Jersey.  I know, you think it’s because of Bon Jovi…well, normally you’d be right.  (#bonjovifreak)  However, I just love that “pantaloons” is on their list!

Where do you live?
