We live NW of Pinecrest. We're out in Horse Country. Before we bought this house we had looked in Pinecrest. Unfortunately, even though it has a 2 acre minimum it wasn't zoned for horses and we weren't willing to give ours up thus Horse Country! And yes, I do work downtown at Jackson where we see it all! Yes, I know there are some people on here from this area but I haven't had the time to seek them out. Maybe after the first of the year. I've told the hospital that I won't work the overtime anymore and will just do my 40 hours except in dire emergencies. I'm tired!
