I visited a girlfriend yesterday. She is married to an attorney. They live in this really nice, relatively new house. It is decorated very neatly. My friend has selected a lot of light colors. There is a cream-colored sofa. Upon the sofa are a couple of bright red pillows with white tassels along the seams. There is a matching chair nearby. Along one wall is a whitish china closet displaying porcelain white cups and saucers. The carpet is an off-white in color, and it is plush. The walls are in...

We're tired of plowing, shoveling, sanding, sliding, and falling, so we're looking to move to an area that doesn't drop below 35° in the winter (NO snow, of course) and 80° in the summer (cooler would be nicer!).
