How Close Are Your Parents / Inlaws
How close or did your parents if they have passed live from you?
My parents live 1 hour North and Inlaws 1 hour South. Pretty nice balance. Too far for an unannounced drop-in but close enough to be able to get together often and have help when needed.

Mom and her hubby are about 5 miles away.
Laurie's parents are about 9 miles away.
Far enough for comfort yet close enough for convenience

I have always said the best inlaws are just a plane ticket away...
Same could be said for my parents.. Both of our families are from the NE, when we lived in AZ only saw them twice a year.. Now we are only 6.5 hours away..

My father lives a thousand yards across the corner of our fields, and my grandfather is a quarter mile down the road from me...
