Been snow birds for 15 years and love it. After 30 years in Alaska it is wonderful to be some place warm and sunny for the winter. We no longer call Alaska home, but still spend 2-3 months in the Arizona sun in the winter. We have wintered in Florida, Texas and Arizona and in each state I have met some wonderful quilters and developed some great friendships. Oh and the quilt shows around the country are an added bonus!!!! Never going to stop being a snow bird!!
