Andrine's reply:

Hello Jess,

Sorry to be so long in replying -- been offline for a couple of days.

That's kind of how it is with me right now.

Anyway, I was referring to aged sandalwood and other commonly used

wood essential oils. They seem to mellow and fill out and become more

well-rounded and rich over time. (as with some wines and some

women..<G>) (That was partly for when he's back online =: D )

As for the move -- it wasn't me. My move from Portland was decades

ago. And I'd love to live in Port Orford -- I agree that it is a

gorgeous place. My husband's parents lived in Sixes and then Port

Orford for years.

Cheers!

Andrine
