Where You Live
#111
I love where I have lived for the past 30 years. A semi rural area with small shopping strip but within 20 minutes of larger shopping centre. We moved out of the suburbs to get some clean country air, unfortunately DD has moved closer in to the city and is now 1-1/2 hours drive away from us.
As the local orchards are being sub-divided, suburbia is creeping closer and closer.

I already got " Outta Dodge". I was born n raised in Los Angeles, Cali.... i left close to 15 years ago and will never go back. I almost moved to Texas for a man but he was going to move here so i didnt have to leave my kids,, but he passed away before. So unless another Mr. Right comes along from elsewhere, i will stay put in beautiful Boise Idaho, covered with green trees( Boise means " City of Trees") and a river thru the middle of town and parks the size of texas hehe.

I hate where I live, Eastern North Carolina. I only have 6 more years before retirement. Since my mother lives with my sister and myself, we'll be here until she is gone (a long, long time I hope.) Then my sister and I are leaving. Hopefully the mountains of North Carolina or Tennessee.
I don't like the weather, to hot!!!! It's a very poor area and high unemployment. In my work I deal with a lot of people who feel like they are entitled to everything free. What they don't realize is "free" means somebody else is paying for it. If they don't get what they want they get nasty and mean.
I want peace and quiet. A community where I feel appreciated and a part of. I've lived in the same town off and on for my entire life and I'm treated like an outsider.
Love my family, whic is why I stay and try to be patient.

Its really pretty here but getting very crowded. Many are moving here from the Bronx. I daydream about moving when we retire, but we will see. We have good friends and the kids are here. I'd love to live in Idaho - its in the middle of all the states I love and I also love Alaska. Darn, I love the beach in Massachusetts too. I think we will have to travel about like my parents did for 10 years. That's my super dream.
