When you find that place, please let me know!

.

The people, well, lets just say, they aren't to kind to "outsiders". What that means, is that they are ALL related to each other and don't like "city" folk coming out this way. So, I have made a couple of friends but nothing real close.
The other down fall to county life is being 45 minutes from EVERYTHING! The nearest stores, like the mall and Wal-Mart are so far to go to. You plan a whole shopping day when you decide to go.

There are NO jobs here either. Unless you are related to someone, you will NOT get a local job. I found that out real quick! LOL

Dh and I are still young, early 40's but we just look forward to moving where it is warm, cheaper taxes and less work to do around the house.[/quote]

Well, I have lived in Ohio, California,Florida, Oregon, back to Florida and now back to Ohio. Not my favorite place but my only living sister is just 2 miles away and we have always been close so this is where I want to be for now.

I love where I live. I was born and brought up just north of Boston but always felt out of place in the city. We moved to Maine in 1976 and I won't even go back to visit my home town now. This is exactly where I was meant to be I think.

I love where I live. Small town! I do miss some of the shops. I have lived here for about 2 1/2 years. Came from another small town in CA so this is nothing new. Wish family lived closer.

I love where I live. Just moved here from a small town 11 years ago. We are living our dream. Retired, cows and horses across the road from our place and so much quiet time. Love the wildlife and the trees. I call it Gods Country.

I have never lived more than 3 miles from the house in which I was born. Love this Lake Erie area of the northeast. Love the seasons and love the people. I am now retired and have a motto in my kitchen, LET IS SNOW. Have lots of canned goods in the basement and a full freezer. Have my quilting and my books and crossword puzzles. Who's richer than I am?

lynsue

Yes, love where I live now. Sad we sold the first house since this one isn't finished (after 20+ yrs) BUT do love the isolation. Have a 135 acre property in the middle of nowhere in western PA. Because of a state park (flood control project) from the Johnstown Flood -- you can't get anywhere around here without going a long way around which means our area will never be developed. It's peaceful, quiet, little development EXCEPT for the now developing Marcellus Gas in our area. Hopefully it will not invade 'our space', although I wouldn't mind the royalties from it -- BUT PA is trying to tax the extraction to the extent the landowner will land up with nothing with all the fees the gas companies & now the government want to take. Doesn't seem fair since some of us (like ourselves) own the mineral rights.
