It would be Northern California. About 7 years ago I drove through Clear Lake/Mendicino and I wanted to get a job and stay. Anywhere in Northern California. If only aerospace was there.

Shanda, hmm, green house built on top of the RV? Chicken coop in one of the storage compartments? Hmm sounds crazy, but maybe someone will come up with one someday.

I'm abit of a gypsy, so I'd like to move around and see alittle of every bit of God's world. I wish I could figure out away to live in a RV and carry a mini-hobby farm around! Now that would be perfect! |

In a house overlooking the ocean, but it would be hard to choose between the Oregon Coast or somewhere in Scotland. I also think about owning an herb farm in Texas Hill Country. My husband is from Fort Worth, Texas and he took me to the Austin Area which was nice and the pictures I have seen of the Hill Country looks like a place I could enjoy. Especially Fredricksburg.

I am another who counts myself lucky enough to love where I live. But, since we are now empty-nesters, I will go whereever I need to be near my kids. We did a lot of moving as they grew up and now I think it is up to my husband and I to go to them. We drug them around enough without any say ...
And since I have done so much moving, I know that there is something really special about whereever you are.

It would be all 50 states. My hubby is retiring in 2 years and we will be travelling to all 50 states, taking out time and seeing as much as we can. We will be living in a motorhome and who knows where we will end up. Someplace warmer than here!!LOL!!!

If I could live anywhere, it would be a place where friends lived close, gardens grow with abundance, it snows, but not on the roads, I would have enough money to buy what I needed and put some away for a rainy day, no autism could be found, summers are warm, but not too warm. Oh wait, I was dreaming!

Well if any of you farm gals want to visit me in India.....the door is open.....wide for you to come visit and relax.......I tentatively plan on going back in September for quite a long stay.I love entertaining and having house guests-----so keep me in mind.....I am very serious. And there are plenty of bedrooms with their own bathrooms---so .
I do love living in New Delhi............BUT there's nowhere like the states....I believe I would choose Wyoming.

I too am pretty happy where I am living, just wish I didn't have to work so much, so I could do more around here.When my kids were small we had no money, so I raised and canned almost everything we ate, and made most of our clothes. It was very hard but it was such a simple life style, I miss it! Someday I'll get back there! Roxanna |

Next time try the umpqua valley instead of filbert country. I THINK we get to go to the north umpqua for 4th of July! But I get the feeling there is going to be some weird intervention that forces me to see my estranged father. My sister is being WAY too nice to really be my sister. TMI? Anyway, I keep hitting tons of sites that give winos the maps of Roseburg they need. My new hobby is wine, so I'll let you know.I am from Rogue River Or. Californication means that you don't have to keep applying at the mill. Dundee and all those towns are really crowded on the weekends from Portland people. quote:

Humidity is often used as a scare tactic but I don't really see the problem since air conditioning has been invented.
My favorite place I've actually BEEN is the farm and wine country in Oregon in a neat little triangle between Eugene, Corvallis, and Portland (Encompassing Salem and McMinnville.
There's a lot of reasons we can't settle there though. It's californicated for one-- in politics, economy and real estate and for another an outside source trashed most of the good memories I made there-- not willing to risk moving back and running into the witch who tried to steal my husband. (Actually, that's an insult to anyone of the wiccan faith. She's a viper.)

Like a lot of you -I would live right where I am in a slightly bigger house with more land. I guess I can think of many more beautiful places to live but to me people are more important than scenery and all the people I care about are here where I live now - so its the most wonderful place on earth, dome.

Although I must say Mendocino is one of my favorite places for a weekend getaway....any farmgirl who is in the 50 states postcard swap will soon see............

Bend, Oregon....where our second (and future retirement) home is located! If I won the lottery I would have a flat in San Francisco, a place in Hawaii, my house in Bend and a little cottage in Ireland!

I think I would like to live about midway between Sacramento, and Oregon; somewhere between the ocean and the mountains. I think Mendocino is such a place as this. But for the time being I am satisfied where I am with (like you all) the exception of the house could be a bit bigger, and I could have a bit more privacy.

Well, you see...I guess I want to be a Kennedy or something because I'd like to have my house here in Okieland, with another in Colorado, one in Maine, one near the White River in Arkansas and one in the Smokies of TN. Anybody know a billionaire who wants to adopt me?? :-))

For me and for us it would be and hopefully will be Savannah GA or somewhere surrounding that area! We have been there and through there many times at all times of the year and it is just lovely, I even have subscribed to their week end newspaper to check it out further! |

I also wouldn't change a thing, except more property so I can actually plant veggies and flowers. Oh and maybe have a chicken coop also, lol, but otherwise I am grateful for what we have :)

Right here . . I'm TOTALLY satisfied with my little piece of our family farm with the Colorado Rockies to the east! Surrounded by BLUE, BLUE skies and clean, fresh air!!
I have LOVED my visits to Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England . . . and wouldn't mind a little cottage there . . probably Scotland.
But I don't think I want to live there permanently or year round because it is rather rainy.

Alyce... I'm with you! Provence! Wouldn't it be great to be neighbors and explore France together? Oui! Oui! ;) Or Tuscany... Or Greece... Or, yes! Israel with Regina... Well, wherever my heart may roam, there really is no place like home! :) We should plan a huge Farmgirl tour of Europe... Wouldn't that be awesome!? You'd have to tranquilize me to near death before I get on a plane, but to experience it with all of you... WOW!!! ;) Hugs - Nini
