FYRE & REIGN

The diversity! Not only do we have white/non-Hispanic, Hispanic, Black, Native American and a bit of Asian peoples mingling in a friendly manner, but we have all kinds of landscapes. We have beaches (minus the ocean) at White Sands National Park, glorious white sand and beautiful dunes. We have desert in the southern part of the state, plains in the eastern part of the state, mountains in the north and down the middle, forests here and there... hot springs, ancient ruins.... sunsets that will take your breath away!

The people are pretty laid back (except for people that recently moved here and haven't "mellowed" yet) and fairly friendly. OK, so the service in our restaurants isn't all that great but the food is delicioius.

We do have some lakes, boating and fishing opportunities, we have skiiing in the winter, camping all year round....

Oh, and did I mention our festivals? Hot air balloons! Renaissance Faires! Native American feasts and pow-wows! Cinco de Mayo festivals! Day of the Dead celebrations! Wine festivals... oh, yeah, we have vineyards and they produce a respectable product at a reasonable price!

<sigh> This is New Mexico and, yes, we are "The Land of Enchantment!" Everybody should come visit us some time!

And the history is awesome, there's not one town I've been too that hasn't been interesting and the food is out of this world they don't call it Tex-Mex for nothing!
And don't forget those DALLAS COWBOYS!!!

I live in a state of complete disarray. Quite frankly, it's not much fun. However, I do like how I can find a three week old mint under the sofa and it still tastes as minty fresh as the day it was purchased.

Now, I know what your thinking... Missouri? What in the world is so great about Missouri??? Well, I can tell you from experience that the people in MO are amazing. They are so very friendly. The relastate is also great in MO. You can find a great house for $250K! Missouri is also so clean. No other state can compare, trust me here.

I love the fall here in Vermont, unfortunately we didn't get much color this year because of the warmer temperatures...I am beginning to miss the snow since it was 60 degrees today. =(

The colors of the leaves in fall! I live in a highrise and the view is amazing from late Sept-Mid Nov!
There is also a wonderful smell of fall in New England that you can't get anywhere else!

i think my favorite thing is how wrong people are about texas. i can't tell you how many times i've heard, "do you wear a cowboy hat and boots everywhere you go?" :P

hmm... I guess I'm going to have to say the people. In Wisconsin the people I have to say are the nicest, and the deer hunting, fishing just doing outdoorsy stuff but then i can go into the city two seconds away. I also love are weather... These past couple weeks were the perfect example, the news was saying it was the hottest weather in winter and then a couple days later we had a snow day....and now all the snow is melted and gone ... two weeks later... its amazing ....

california is the best. within 5 hour radius of san francisco, i can be at the beach, mountains, desert, everything.

We have moderate climate while still retaining the seasons...at least up in nor cal.

I lived in the north east most of my life I got tired of waiting from year to year for a nice spring ( not wet ) and a nice summer ( not cool ) so I moved to FLORIDA
sun sun and more sun, almost all year round sun, and if and when it rains usually it is for about an hour, then more sun, the nice weather, today it was 19 out, great beaches, nice parks, free parks every where for kids to play in, ( many many parks ) and places to walk in those parks, fishing YEAR round, so much I can not put it all here even if I could continue to write for two days
not to mention the bikinis, oh the bikinis....the dolphins swimming by as your sitting on the beach watching the dolphins swim by.
so so much to say
love it

thank you
smile
good luck
