My son and family live on the base at Elmendorf for nearly 7 years now. He goes to Petersville for snowmobiling and I believe he has been over to Petersburg too. Would love to move to the Palmer area where he does his 4 wheeling and such. Been to his place 2 times so far, and hope to go again soon. I've have visited/shopped the quilt shops around Anchorage, Eagle River, Palmer and Wasilla.

:thumbup: I know~ how bout it, it's a very small little place~ (don't blink) it's in the country ~ Love living here!

Me, too, tutt! Born in Little Rock and have never lived more than 18 miles outside the city limits. Like you, this is home in spite of the crazy weather we have.

well lets see i was born here in fresno,ca lived in OK for a little wile moved back to fresno when i was little, as i grew i stayed in california, when i found the man i was going to be with the rest of my life, we lived in cal for a wile and moved to mississippi for almost a year could not handle the humidy and heat so came back to california and we are still here, he tells me when we retire we are going to move out of california and we are starting to check other states out so far i like Montana and south dakota

I'm actually from "the valley" (from Moon Unit Zappa's song "Valley Girl")...i.e: San Fernando Valley, CA. We currently live north of there, but I haven't lived anywhere other than SoCal. My DH is also from the valley, but he did a 2 year stint in Kuwait during high school when his family moved there for business. He's really glad he's not there now.

Me too! Arkansas has beautiful mountains, rivers, lakes, etc. Always a great place to return to. Of course, grandkids help a lot now. :lol:

I was raised in western PA. Lived in Myrtle Beach, SC; Alexandria, LA; Tucson, AZ; Misawa, Japan; Hahn AFB, Germany; and Altus, OK -- all places where hubby was stationed while serving in the AF. We have retired to the Spokane, WA area and have been here for 27 years.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles then I lived for 6 months with my husband's family in England. After we had been married for 4 years we moved to southern Oregon, which is where we're at now. :)

I live at Richards a very small community in SW Missouri. I lived in Kansas City Mo for 50 years, then retired and moved back to my childhood home. My home is fairly isolated and sits on twenty five acres. A very peaceful place to quilt.

Fon Du Lac, Wi. Which right now I'm almost ashamed to admit. After parents split, I was three, I ended up in NJ, not so nice, and on to PA which I love.

First I lived in the country with a collie dog named Lady. She would walk my sister to the one room school house down the road in the morning and would go to walk her home after school. We had cows in the back yard and picked apples from the back of dads pick up. That was a childhood of freedom to roam the woods and discover the world on our own terms. It really helped to make me independent.
This is a great thread.

Dwezel is doing a tour right now using Franks music. He was just interviewed on our local WNPR station. Very cool! I love Frank.

I know Landsdale. I work in Chalfont!

I lived in Dolgeville for about a year. The cold would make the beams crack and sound like they were exploding in the attic. Great for snow shoeing. Summer would fing us dipping our toes in the icy cold water in the spring house to keep cool.

I used to work at Erlanger too! Actually I worked for TC Thompson, but pretty much the same thing.

I was born in SW Virginia, but when I was 10 or 11 my family moved to FL. After 3 years, we moved to central Virginia. After graduating high school, I moved to Bowling Green, KY for college. I met my ex-husband there, and after graduation, we moved to Douglasville, GA for a year. For a lot of reasons, we moved back to KY. A few years after that, we moved to Chattanooga, TN, where we lived for almost 7 years. We split up in 2008 and in 2009, I moved to central MA. In 2010, I got a job in western MA and moved to Sunderland, where I've been ever since. I really love this part of the state, but I'm trying to convince my boyfriend to move back down south.

I love your Avatar. Where they sitting on your porch or where did you find the Peacocks. They are beautiful birds.

Off the subject but did you steal my dog, Scoobie Doo? :D

I can't get over how much your beauty reminds me of my dearest . She is the smartest dog I ever knew :D

She had a broken jaw when she was born. Couldn't be fixed and her lower jaw never grew to fit her size. Her tonge hung out from her mouth and slapped her in the face when she tried to lick anything. ha ha. I love her dearly.

I was born in Gadsden, Alabama. We moved to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, when I was just a baby. I have lived in Tennessee all my life. I grew up in Lenoir City, TN, then moved back to Oak Ridge when I got married. We moved to our lake house when our son went to college. We now live in Ten Mile, TN, on Watts Bar Lake. Beautiful area of the country and a wonderful way of life. My sewing room downstairs looks out on this beautiful lake. Life is good.

[quote=Phannie1]Thanks so much. I was in my livingroom looking out the door. There is a family of six semi-wild escaped peacocks that live with the wild turkeys . They wonder around the neighborhood and take handouts. One of their favorite roosting places is in the huge oak tree right over the house. Turkeys and peacocks. What a sight! I love them

Grew up in the Panhandle of Texas. Got married and my husband joined the Army before getting drafted. In 21 years in the Army we spent 13 over seas and only one time did I like someplace longer than 18 -24 months. Got really good at packing and unpacking. Have lived in El Paso for 21 years and love the wonderful weather ( except this summer).

We will be in Chickasha in September to visit some dear friends. Love visiting there.

I was born in Miss and married at age 16 and have traveled all over with my husband who is retired military.We settled in North Carolina since we were stationed here so many different times.I call it home now.

Finally someone from Illinois! Yea! From central Illinois here, not far away!
