I travel a lot and mschwartz's roll-rule is fool-proof. By far the best way to travel!

I'm moving in this weekend...

Ahh! My grandmother knitted me an afghan for my high school graduation. I have it on my modern bed and LOVE LOVE LOVE the contrast. Probably the favorite part of my home.

I also find that it makes a modern space look just a little less "linear" and "harsh."

Wow! With a house like this, Glen won't be a bachelor for long, unless he likes it that way...

I would move in in a heartbeat!

lamb stew, hands down! Yummmmmmmmmmm.

I'd try to slice fresh vegetables, but would most likely only slice my fingers...I'm not too handy in the kitchen... :-/

For some reason, the best ideas always seem to come from Minneapolis... :)

Lust, for sure...

hmmmm...

Looks so comfy! Would help when I'm freezing up here in Minneapolis!

I'm having the opposite problem! Moving down to the 1st floor from a 21st floor apartment is odd. I have no natural "green thumb," so trying to create/maintain a working terrace is a challenge! Plus, the feeling that someone could break into my apartment at any time is a bit unsettling.

Things I LOVED about living up high:
1. The View (goes without saying).
2. Being able to leave the window/balcony door open 24 hours a day without fear of robbery.
3. Being able to sit outdoors naked in a major downtown area and not be seen.
4. Avoiding a lot of noise from the street.
5. Dropping water balloons! (not on people, of course!!).
6. Watching thunderstorms roll in.
7. Watching the sky light up for miles around you on July 4.

That said, you're right on many points. I never did get over the annoyance of taking a long time to get to my place, the scorching sun in the summer, or the feeling that an encroaching fire might be particularly dangerous.
