Livingston is a nice area. We go through there often on our way to the
Houston area.

I just hit 60 a few months ago. I like living in Shreveport, but I'm
not sure I want to spend the rest of my life here. Over the past few
years, we have been visiting the Rio Grande Valley Area of Texas. It is
high on our list of possible locations.... but I wouldn't mind moving
back to the Houston area... as long as we are far enough out of town to
get away from the worst of the traffic.

My business is as portable as a computer and cell phone. I doubt that
I'll ever completely retire..... I enjoy it too much.
