The Perfect Place To Live???
 

Just wondering.....is there a perfect place to live if you have MS? Mild winters (nothing under 40 degrees) and cool summers (nothing over 80 degrees).

I've always thought that the Pacific Northwest would be the perfect place to live. Rain and clouds don't bother me. Tornados and severe storms do - and we get a lot of those here in GA.

I just cannot take this heat....it's disabling to the point of me not being able to do anything after about 10 AM. Yesterday I went to the bank and grocery store (and my son even drove!!) and it literally took me all day to recover.

Maybe I could go live with Koala during the U.S. summers since it's winter where she is right now - and come back home when it's winter here!! :p

Here in GA it starts getting hot in May and we don't even get any cold weather until at least January. And then it's only abut 3 months of it. I know the people in the NE want to kick my patooty right now!! :D :o

If you could live anywhere where would it be?

This comes up from time to time and we can't ever seem to find our utopia. The PacNW is gorgeous, no doubt, and it is a region I would consider.

My own plan is the greater Asheville, NC. There's a cool little town just under the fog line but still in enough elevation for cooler summers. Very mild winters and the snow season is quite short, for me, winter is basically sweater weather there. If I can, that is where I hope to land when my term here is finished.

If you can afford it, the windward side of the Big Island of HI is pretty much year-round perfection. A little rainier than average, but it's always nice, very pleasant temps and breezes.

When you find the perfect place, make a reservation for me too, and I'll meet you there, okay? :)

Of course, there's always Toad Hollow. ;)

Asheville, NC is beautiful....and only about 2 hours north of where I live in GA. About 170 miles, I think.

I watched a show on TLC about living in HI and I know for sure I cannot afford it!! The houses they were showing were smaller than what I'm in now and cost about $400K!! :eek: Guess I could pitch a tent and live on the beach....NOT!

The heat is just really bothering me this summer - and we have probably three more months of uncomfortably warm weather to get through. I can remember Halloween's where we would come home from trick-or-treating (back when it was safe to do those things :rolleyes:) and be so hot and sweaty.

I've thought about TN - maybe up past Chattanooga. I love the mountains.

Who knows.....if it's meant to be then it will happen. :rolleyes:


***from what I've heard there is a certain someone in Toad Hollow that causes all kinds of trouble...** :wink:

Toad Hollow???? My foot! Last winter was the worst one I can remember since 1978 *yr my DS was born*. I concur AMN; Asheville, NC is just as you said and I think a good place to land. My DD lives in NC, but she's closer to the coast and it's scorching there right now.

The good Lord willin and the creek don't rise, we plan to spend a month or so in NC during the month of Jan after DH retires in a couple of yrs. We'll see~~~

I just can't even think about Winter coming; it was such a dismal one for me.

I have a lot of relatives in NC - in the Raleigh, Rocky Mount, and Nashville areas. It truly is a beautiful place to live.

I remember the last time I went there wasn't any traffic - or at least no traffic like I'm used to. I think the metro Atlanta area has the worst traffic of any state - with the exception of CA, I guess.

I'd just like to be in a small "one red light" town, not much traffic and everybody knows one another. Wait.....I've lived in an "everybody knows each other" town before and they knew things about me that I didn't even know yet!! Maybe I'll stick with the "one red light" and "no traffic". :o

Cloudcroft, NM...
