Hi Sean,

 RH> been what we wanted at first, but then grown to enjoy.  We never even
 RH> considered AZ but now it's one of the places we're thinking about
 RH> possibly retiring to.

 SD> I understand that.  My parents and grandparents have bought a house
 SD> here in Johnson City.  We do like it here a lot.  However, it all
 SD> depends on where the jobs are.  Maura is going to become a nurse, it
 SD> seems, so she should be able to get a job anywhere.  Me, on the other

Jobs are a big reason for moving somewhere. (G)  A nurse should find
employment most anywhere; you may end up moving because of her job
rather than vice versa.  Steve's future plans have included seminary for
years; the Army has just been a longer term than we'd anticipated
detour.  Me--I can free lance at a lot of things; I've done a lot of
different things on a volunteer basis that would translate into an
interesting resume.  Probably the closest description to match them
would be admin in hr of a company dealing with creativity, especially if
I could do some projects too.

 SD> Arizona's a nice place too-lived there about 20 years ago (man, has it
 SD> been that long?!).  We lived in Phoenix (near 63rd and Bethany Home)
 SD> and in Tucson (near River and La Canada [n is ny sound]).  I remember
 SD> that it was HOT, but we had a nice big swamp cooler.  A friend here
 SD> recently moved back to Tucson (and I'm hoping to hear from him soon).

We lived on post, Fort Huachuca, by Sierra Vista.  So (!) much nicer
than Tucson and especially Phoenix, even in the monsoon season.  I've a
sister (and family) that live in Peoria, a daughter and family in
Surprise and yoounger daughter near the Mesa part of Phoenix.  Steve & I
visited them in 2004 in June & 05 in late April/early May.  Went down to
SV both times--felt like we were coming home.  I sure do miss the
southwestern cooking; little out here is like it (but it's good in its
own right).


 SD> At least you wouldn't be considered a snowbird. :)

Nope; my sister does't like either them or the retirees in Sun City
(West) who use golf carts as their main means of transportation.  Snow
birds drive the big old self contained RVs or RVs towed by a monster
sized pick up truck.
