The fact that it's "home." I grew up here but moved to the Tampa area in the early 80's. I never expected to get homesick, but after about 15 years I couldn't stand it. I began to realize that I felt like an alien. There were many things to like there, but I had no roots.

It took another 5 years, (and a side trip to Ogden Utah) but I finally was able to return to the land of my birth.

It's the little things that I missed. First thing was the changing of the leaves. Next was the rolling landscape. The architecture of homes.

And then there were the differences that only reminded me I wasn't home. Even though I do enjoy NASCAR, I am not and never will be a "rebel." While palm trees and palmetto bushes have their own charm... I personally never cared for them.

Those... and the fact that I don't have to worry too much about hurricanes here.

And as odd as it seems, and this is more of a shock to me than I can describe, I missed snow.

This area is by no means perfect, but "be it ever so humble, there's no place like home."

I personally am so sick of Oregon...I just want to get out of here...although the coast is beautiful, and I love the rain. So thats what I like about Oregon, the rain and the coast.

hey i wrote this post a while back but thought it would be nice to post it again so..... bump

Look at the Sunrise on my profile

Besides that, the crisp clean air, open spaces, no gangs, no one is shooting at me anymore.
I love it here

I hate where I live, nothing here.

I love it here where I live. Its right on the coast of southern England, accessible for all the major cities down here, including London. Great shopping, nightlife, countryside.... lots to do and see. And great for (my fave) restaurants and winebars.

Asheville North Carolina.
Has many names.
Appalachian mountains, Blue Ridge mountains, The Great Smoky mountains.

Drive up through the clouds and touch Gods hand... That is what i love about where i live.
And the people who grew up here and have lived here always .... have no match in the world to the kindness and hospitality they provide.
That is why we are #1 rated place in the world to retire.... Published in many different magazines.

wow sounds beautiful
