Born in Oklahoma City grew up between there and St. Louis. Hated ice storms,tornados, and sand storms. I will never go back. I have lived in The Plains, VA for 40 years,loved the beauty,the seasons hated the traffic to work an back. We decided to move closer to our work and now I live in MD and work in DC. Hate the traffic, high cost of living heat and humidity. Basically only like the fact I am 10 mins. From work, not much else. I miss my mountains, cool nights, wildflowers, I would love to go back to VA.
