Looks good only I hate to see that it is 73 in CA and only 37 in Virginia!

Sorry California.
But
I'd Rather be Back in Virginia!
Love that State! Lived there for 4 years about 16 years ago.

Really, where? I'm on the Tennessee Virgina line---right at the race track. No, I'm not a race fan!

Oh that's some beautiful country up there!
I wish! I was at Virginia Beach
Your hounds are so lucky being in the mountians!
I'll have to send mine to you for summer break! haha..

It is beautiful---I love the mountains. I enjoy the ocean but THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!

I don't even have the "Ocean" we got the Gulf of Mexico. Not good at all.
I lived in Colorado before I moved to Virginia then to Mississippi. Not sure how I ended up here. But like you said it's home.
I miss the mountians so much.
This Christmas I've rented a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains for 10 days! It's going to be hard to come back here!

The location here is the best of all worlds. I hour to the ocean. 2.5 hours to Tahoe and all it's beauty. Now if we could get all the crazies to leave and get a real governor I would be a happy camper. Seeing as how I am a natvie and my granchildren are the 7th generation to play on the same beach, ( turn around and you have the redwoods) I don't think I am going anywhere very quickly.  |

Wow, I used to live in Hampton, VA right outside the NASA part of Langley AFB on the line of Hampton and Yorktown. My ex-husband was one a sub out of Norfolk. Small world! I have also lived in, Missouri, Mississippi (Meridian for a couple of months only), Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Colorado, Okinawa, New Jersey, Hawaii, Alabama, and now Florida where I think we will be staying permanently.
Whew...I think I am done moving around ;D

Lexie Lady - How far are you from Blue Ridge, GA? We come up about once a year. Have a little piece of property that hubby dreams of building on someday - a little cabin in the woods.

JoAnn, I have heard that CA is really really nice in some areas. I have only passed through LAX a few times and I am sure it is NOT a fair representation of the state..lol.
Lonnie, Where in CO were you? We lived in Aurora (right outside of Denver) and I lived in Telluride for a while with some friends of mine that still live there. CO is incredibly beautiful and I bet you miss it a lot. I know I do.

Hey Betty!
Computer is acting up so bad this morning!
I sure do miss it and as strange as it sounds I feel like I'm depriving my hounds of a mountain life? I know I'm not right.
Is there anywhere we didn't live? haha...
Florida, now Colorado? Strange!
I lived in Broomfield and had friends in Aurora! Telluride is Awesome!
I spent every weekend pretty much up in Deckers on the Platt River camping. What I'd do for my babies to be able to live in the mountains! So many great scents to smell.
How did you do on the outfits?

Well, I have a few more stars to put on Harley's robe so am almost finished with that. Then I had to go yesterday and get a different trimming and some material for the "scarf" on Hanna's hat. I already have it cut out and some of the trim pinned on so I am almost finished with that one too. I have her kerchief cut out and pinned to be sewn but am trying to decide if I ought to put the trim on before I do. I did decide on beaded trim but I'm not telling what it is going to look like. It is a surprise! I should have plenty of time today to work on it while Ally is napping. It sure is a welcome break from the curtains and pillows I have been working on. I am really enjoying it even more than I thought I would.
Telluride is wonderful. I worked at Baked in Telluride and the Village Market. I would go in to BIT at 5 am and work til around 1pm then take a 30 minute break and walk next door to Village Market to work another 8 hr shift. I don't miss that part of it! I also had to work during bluegrass festival at both places..talk about lines out the door and around the block! UGH! But I sure loved riding the gondola every night round trip on my way home to wind down. I would love to go and visit soon. My friend Nancy works in the county clerks office. She has invited us, but my husband is a floridian and he hates cold weather! I used to sleep with their dog Dagger (after the kayak). He was a pointer and just the sweetest guy! He would sleep with his head on my pillow LOL.

Betty, Southern Ca. could be another state in itself. Smog, traffic and horrible congestion. Unfortunately we being between 2 large cities I have seen our small little town grow to over 100k and with that has come some of the same ills. The farther north you go the prettier it becomes. Where we camp is 180 miles north of here on the rugged coast and just beautiful. It is our yearly pilgrimage "home" as my parents we born and raised there. No jobs in the 40's brought them down here and here we stay. My mother, hubby's mother, all of our children and grand children live within 2 blocks to 30 miles of us. I don't see leaving here as an option, though there are times I could pack up and go in a heart beat.

Holly, I've never head of Blue Ridge, GA. ---SORRY! I can tell you that if there are mountains around, it's great. Isn't it funny how we all love our home state. I close to the Race track, if you are a race fan.
Betty and Lonnie, I'm not sure how you keep your address straight!
