That's neat :)

I could still live in Warwick and ignore all of the new stuff.. Ron could not..
but he didn't grow up there ... There are a few of the "old-timers" still
there.. the original people who've been there for ages...(and I mean ages
(grin).. I guess they will always be there :)  but I can understand how you
feel to be honest.. the new people in Warwick are of a different "type" somehow
 it seems sometimes.. The real problem though would be being able to afford it
though..Last I knew,  prices of property had sky-rocketed in Orange county NY,
especially in Warwick... I don't know if that is still true with all of this
mortgage-crisis stuff going on.. they would seem to be prime candidates for
that kind of trouble (supremely over-priced housing!!! Homes that had been
priced at 130,000 going for 400-600,000 dollars..).

It should be a great place.. I spoke with that owner as well and she sounded
very nice :)  She knows my daughter, since my daughter worked at the bank here
in the village so we had a chuckle over that.. :)  She also knows our house,
since this house had also been a B&B at one time which I'd known.. The previous
owner had told us about that and shown us the sign they'd used (we still have
it stored away (g)).. we may do that someday.. :) Not real soon though ..

Aw... Yes, that is the downside :(  But no fleas either which is a great plus
:)

Take care,
Janis
