    I love it here in AZ. I moved away for 10 years then came back. I think I'll stay right here in my house:

    I took a survey to find our "ideal spot" and guess what? We're in it! Both hubby and I like it cool. Now, if only we could import a national baseball league...

    Here's the test, it's fun. It asks for address information at the end, I filled in bogus stuff and I still got my result back.

    I used to think Hawaii but now I think where I live, near Seattle, in Washington State. Hawaii is too expensive.

    We have pretty mild weather all year, no hurricanes, tornadoes or other horrible storms. We have rain, of course, to maintain the green and an occasional wind storm, but most of the year, the weather is not one extreme or the other. Summers have some hot days, but most of the time it's in the 70's. It snows once or twice in the winter and it's gone in a day or two.
