I love my home!

[sirrahbed]

I have lived many places as I come from military - and the place I felt I loved best was New England. We lived in NewHampshire - many years ago.

I loved the four seasons. The winters were cold but that is great for me since I really hate heat. I loved the beaches - being able to drive a few minutes and then see the ocean. The air feels cleaner and fresher there. I loved the seafood!! I recall being able to go to the local drive-in and ordering a cone full of clams. FRESH shellfish is so easy to find and that is my favorite - oysters, clams, shrimp. Oh and the lobster!!! I loved the local color, the accents. I loved the style of the homes. I loved being able to go to what felt like the biggest city I know -Boston. I loved taking the subway and being able to shop in big department store - then go back to my small town. I loved the color of the countryside in the fall and that anticipation of winter.

We are now retired on Ohio and I like the weather and we finally own a home and have settled with family nearby. I am pretty sure we will remain here - but when you posted this thread, it made me think of NewEngland. I don't know how similar it still is but that is the area I feel drawn to

Did you see my thread about Reno? Can you please reply to it? I would be interested to hear what you have to say. My brother says I should go to Virginia City.

I am not too far from Reno, I think that Reno truckee area is just gorgeous. The older I get the more I love the mountains and nature. Unfortunately here everyone wants to go to Nevada to gamble and they miss the best part of the state IMHO.

We have a condo in Tahoe (South Shore, near Heavenly). We usually go up at least 6 times a year. Each year in Sept we go to Reno for the annual Street Vibrations event (motorcycles). And on that trip we always go out to Virginia City. It's a neat little old town. It has cute shops and lots of history to learn about.
I guess this year there is a mini street vibrations being held next month. We are going to that too.
Unfortunately, our condo doesn't allow dogs. So Zoee has not gone up with us. I don't have the heart to put her in a doggie day care up there. It's too much of a hassle to take her in and out. But I'd like to stay at a hotel that allows pets some time up there. Maybe a PT meeting in Tahoe??
There are tons of pet friendly places and things to do up there. Check it out online.

I agree that Nature is the best thing about living here Having grown up here I don't see the appeal of gambling.

I'm all for a PT meeting in Tahoe!
