It's a fantastic place and nuthin' can get me out of here!

I hate where I live, which is Sacramento. I lived for 5 years in the Portland, Or. area and would move back there in a flash if I could. Sacramento is dry, brown and way to hot. Oregon is green and more green, cooler and has great fruit and berries, which I love. Our house is paid off so I don't see us moving anytime soon. We don't want payments again.

I love where I live now (AZ). The biggest part of that is because of the weather. I grew up in NY state and lived in Utica as an adult for 18 years and just got tired of the long winters and dreary falls. Upstate NY is absolutely beautiful, but it was time for a change. I now don't have to shovel snow (from driveway AND roof), mow lawns, rake leaves, etc. That means more quilting time!!

We moved here 21 years ago from So. California and though it's a bit tougher to make a living, we are living just fine!! Less stress and traffic. There's a beautiful lake less than a mile from our home, mountains, golf courses, including one with a floating green, hunting, fishing, snow sports, and hiking. Do I do any of those activities, no!! Neither does DH but love it here anyway!! I just miss lifelong friends and Mom in So. California, but I do get to visit fairly often. If I had the chance to move, I wouldn't, this is the place to be, snow and all!!

This is really interesting to read. I'm a 4th generation CA person. I lived in a small town (too clickey), then on a ranch (25 mi. from nearest town) and now in North Orange Co. of So. Cal. I really like where we live. It is not a small town but sort of a bedroom community. I used to walk to work at a large univ. We can walk to our church. Our grandkids are here. When we shop, we often see friends. There are a lot of quilt stores close by. It is a little hot in summer, but a good place to live. Placentia, CA

I love where I live & wouldn't like to live anywhere else. I grew up on a farm & when I moved to town it took me along time to adjust to city living. I really missed the peace & quiet of the country but now I'm used to it but still miss the country some. Everybody wonders how we can stand to live where it is so cold in the winter but it actually makes you hardier. I wouldn't want to live where there isn't any change of seasons. There's nothing better than to have those first warm days in the spring & know that summer is coming. I'll gladly put up with our snow & cold weather verses hurricanes, earthquakes, wild fires, mudslides etc. I guess I'm just a good ole North Dakotan at heart. I do like to visit other states but always look forward to coming home.
