Kathrynzj says at RevGals: "This Friday Five will post while I'm at the beach which for me is more than a vacation destination, it is a trip home. I have found it quite easy to wax nostalgic about the places I used to live (well, except for one) and have begun to wonder what it is I like about the place I'm living now? For instance I sure do love the beach, but this picture was taken about 30 minutes away from my house - not too shabby!
And so I ask you to please name five things you like about where you are living now... and as your bonus - 1 thing you don't like."

1) Bluebonnets, our state flower - these are in a front yard down the street from me
2) Wide open spaces - view from a helicopter ride, just a few miles north of our house
3) Working at a university, especially with international students. Seeing their beautiful faces every day.
4) Being CLOSE to the DFW Metroplex, but not IN it. Did you know that the DFW Airport is over 29.8 square miles (larger than the island of Manhattan?)
5) Downtown Denton, anchored by the Courthouse-on-the-Square. Lots of funky little shops and restaurants surrounding it.
Bonus: What I do not like about Denton: It's far too far away from The Beach. or from ANY beach for that matter. Tain't fittin.
