Hi Sandra. I understand that Oregon is a great place for a person who likes green. It's also good if they do not get depressed from lack of sunshine. I have a good friend who now lives in Corvalis, Oregon. We worked together in San Antonio for several years before she moved to Oregon to be near her children and grandchildren. The remark about the lack of sunshine in the winter is from Dorothy. I can't verify it, as I've never been there. I'd like to go visit in the summer when it is dry and 102 degrees in Texas. Betty
