We live in Mesa, AZ becasue our daughters and their families are here. We moved from here to NC about 15 yrs ago and lived there for 11 yrs. before returning here at the request of our family. I love AZ, but hubby is not as fond of it. He is from WV and I am from the Adirondack mountains of NY. If we could, we would move to WV or the Adirondacks now that we are retired and would not have to fight the snow in the winter. BUT...those who are dear to us are here...so here we shall stay.
