Western Pa. is definitely more expensive in most areas. I'll have to do this one. HUGS Chris

I enjoyed reading your lists. Your property tax is low for the average assessment values. My house and property is valued below $20,000 and my yearly tax is about $193, but I haven't seen this years yet. I have been away from the computer and am too sore and painful in the evenings after helping do what I can on the house with someone to do the heaviest lifting. I am getting stronger but I have a limit. I will get to the journals as much as I can as I enjoy the people I have met. I always appreciate the communication and support that I have found in them. I will visit when I can and hope that you have a good week. mark
Seems cost of living is a "little" higher here in Kansas City area.
But was a little lower in Dallas TX area, when I lived there.
