George -- We just the major problem I see is that we still have sooooo much snow! I am hoping that we see spring soon! We also need more money and more young people in the state. It is a great state, but it still had some challenges. However, I think most people are committed to working on those challenges.

Hi Joan-I think it is soooo beautiful but that fluffy stuff can't fool me! It might be pretty but its cold and it melts..no I don't enjoy living in snow. I was one of those kids who had to walk uphill through snow to get to school..I lived in PA.

Midori ~ It was very difficult moving from San Francisco to New Hampshire. The only thing that has made it worthwhile is the quality of life here -- I still a problem with all of the white fluff! I am looking forward to the other 3 seasons -- they are beautiful.

Hi Joan -- great minds think alike! I posted the article above in the morning -- you posted your article this evening -- New Hampshire certainly is # 1.

I think it's the "live free or die" motto that makes it the most livable- at least that advice works for me! :-)

Actually- I've visited your great state... and the fact that it's breathtaking also helps.

Wow. What a great post. I've been a lot of places, but never to New Hampshire...thanks for alerting me to it's beauty. Now I gotta figure out whether to visit and enjoy it, or avoid it so my wife doesn't get ideas of moving cross-country!

Aloha Joan,

New Hampshire is a lovely state I must agree. I went to prep school in Meridan, NH. Good ol' Kimbal Union Academy. I loved it there a little too cold in the Winter months for my tastes but beautiful none the less.

Thanks for sharing,

Joey aka Robinhood I miss my days in California. New Hampshire is a beautiful state, so if I had to leave my heart in San Francisco, at least I found a nice place to live.

Thesa Thanks for stopping by. Oregon is a lovely state as well. Hope you can come and visit New Hampshire some time. Let me know if you are coming this way.
