If you could live anywhere in the US...

Sorry NY and Notheasterners left you that way, but I LOVE NY. My husband grew up in the South and other than the taxes here in NY, loves it. He actually finds more understanding among the people up here than in the South. Not sure where in NY you grew up.

Northern Idaho...Bonner County, Boundary County, Kootenai County, Shoshone County.

However, where we are in Iowa is real pretty....it just needs more trees. We have lots of rolling hills and it's very green here, but just not very many trees. Guess they're not good for crops. We've been here almost 2 years and it's MUCH better than where we were in IL.

San Diego was wonderful, too...I lived in Chula Vista for 9 years in the late 80s/early 90s and it was beautiful. I could never live there again though....too busy and crowded for my taste.

I have always wanted to live in England, but the laws there are getting kinda weird (No offense meant English Chick), or Israel, but it's kinda dangerous over there these days. So that leaves Hawaii. Oh, yes, my own farm on a quiet island in Hawaii. If money was not a problem, that's where you'd find me...

I am living exactly where I always wanted to be

I grew up in Michigan and I am NOT a winter person. I travelled a bit, and once, when I was 17 I was passing through KY and stayed overnight - the next morning when I woke up and walked outside and looked at the beauty all around I decided this is where I wanted to live someday - took me quite a few years to get here

Luckily, I married a man with parents who were originally from KY, and he loved it here, too - so we decided when we retired, that was our last move to make.

We looked at property for three years trying to find the right one. We ended up buying a 25 acre hayfield w/woods and building our own farm, instead of choosing one of the "ready to move into" places that didn't quite suit us. We've been here for about a year and a half, now.

We're still building, and busier than we ever were when we had Jobs - but we've never been happier to live anywhere in our whole lives. I wake up every morning believing that I truly live in a National Park, the scenery is so lovely everywhere you go. The people are great, too - we have fantastic neighbors - and not too close neighbors - which was our main concern. Our closest neighbor is about a 1/4 mile away. We can see them and sometimes late at night we can hear them out back at their firepit, laughing and having fun, but it's all good.

We moved from the second largest city in Michigan down here. I am NOT a city girl. I grew up on farms, and I tell hubby that it is a testament to how much I love him that I lived in that city for so long (almost 20 years) without leaving him just to get out of it

I feel truly blessed that I am getting to live my dream (and that I could retire at such a young age that I can enjoy it).

I already live in Paradise, IMO, I don't want to live anywhere else.

I'm liking Western Maine very much as I start my third year here, but if I win the Maine Powerball drawing Wednesday night, I'll be back home in NY's Adirondack Mountains by noon on Thursday.

That will always be home to me.
