I'm in Phoenix. I left Michigan because of the weather.
I'm glad to be gone. I'll never go back to the cold zone for winter
again.

My first Spring in AZ.
It's great, 85 degrees here. It's a big change
from my past, I'm wearing
short sleeve shirts for the first time in 23
years. Which means my first
sunburn on my arms in 23 years. We moved
here in Sep. and we are on the
South edge of a growing suburb. Only 1
close grocery store. It's said to be
the fastest growing town in the
country. Already we have a number of
stores and restaurants. A new
freeway building 2 miles away. They are
building a Starbucks, Wallmart,
Costco, Samsclub, by the new freeway, plus
tons of high-end stores near
by. It's funny, every time we see a new store
we like, we get happy.
They are building a 10 acre park at the end of my
street. 2 miles away
they are building a huge 100 acre watrerbird preserve,
filled with parks
and paths, I can't wait. I got so lucky. We bought just
after housing
started going up. We picked this area because of pricing, but
before we
got here, they jumped lots. But after I bought, they sky
rocketed.
Houses!
on my block are going for 35%-40% more than I
paid. They are halfway
done building my pool. I'm not sure I will ever get
in it, but I can't
wait to be out sitting by the pool in the sun. I spent
23 years
basically couped up sitting by the fireplace in my TV room, only
getting
out a few times in summer. Now, even if I stay home, I'm at least
going
outside, getting my niece from school, etc. Starting in March,
on
Tuesday nights the city has free "Music In The Park" different
live
bands, from rock to jazz to classic. Lots of cool things going on.
I'm
sure lots of cities do these things, it's just I was always to cold
to
go out in the nights. To you cold quads, moving somewhere warm can be
a
life changer.
