Ken : In 2016 I began working short term job assignments, which has given us the opportunity to live in 5 different states within a very short time. If someone had told us 5 or 10 years ago that we'd be away from our home 95% of the year we wouldn't have believed it. Since our kids are all grown and gone, we decided to give it a try - for at least a few months - and here we are 3 years later, still loving it.
