BBB, I really enjoyed your story of love of your neighbors. That was a GOOD day, and it was worth getting up for!!
I used to LONG to move westward, and was always told to " go to ARIZONA for your sinuses". (Actually, I never had sinus trouble
)
I have been to Phoenix for a visit, but I am not sure I could make enough income to keep up the lush, green look I have become so familiar with, in the vales of the Georgia hills. They have greenery, but it is transplanted!
I would love to come to Albeq. and meet all of you in person. It would be WONDERFUL. Alas,
home tie obligations keep me posted daily at the grind, with no end in sight. But I will continue to enjoy reading all the great interactions and looking at all the photos.
Clary, the wildfires in the drought ridden states seem to get worse all the time. No wonder your friend is aghast.
