Kristen, I am sure you are only a little older than me unless that was your granddaughter
I guess I should put some pics in my gallery.
Trularin, I had forgotten about the frost heaves and what they do to roads. Maybe I am not so homesick.
Ron, it is only -30* for a short time in the winter. I love the snow but where I grew up we usually didn't have enough to go snowmobiling for more than a couple months and the man made snow isn't that great to ski on. But I still miss it.
One other great thing here is the great flying weather. Clear skies 357 days a year. Too windy some days too, but not often. Now if could just find a plane to rent again...
