I live in central Maine and have all my life. We built our house in 1968 and we are still in it. Have 25 acres and plenty of elbow room..I love living here (except the winters)! I hate the cold months but the summers are great and this year it seemed to go on forever. My daughter and her family moved to Phoenix AZ ten yrs ago and I miss seeing them. It's quite possible that a move to AZ is possible at some point but I'm not ready at this point. I have a number of good friends I'd sure hate to leave.
Ask me this same question in February, I may have a plane ticket in hand! LOL
