Guest guest Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 my son lived in El paso a few years and traveled quite a bit in NM and in AZ. They got tired of the desert quickly. They loved to visit there but not to live. Their pool was cold as it drops so low at night. Days were hot. Had probems with the pool heater. Soon got where they couldn't go over to Mexico except he had to go over every day to work. They are happy to get back into Michigan. They have a bigger plot of land, a smaller nd older house but like the trade off. Were you in a condo community where you can't breathe unless you get it passed by the HOA? My sister's is like that though really nice and lots of activities and all seniors. But they end up regulating too much. Here in the mobile home park it is about the same way, but if we do it attractively and zoning doesn't come after us, they pretty much leave us alone. We got some people from church to come out and paint a woman's home which had to be pained and cleaned up or she'd have to go. We helped her with getting some people who would furnish work and furnished paint as well. We try to keep ours lookin nice. The French are very picky about their homes and they are always cleanning and fixing up. One was waxing her mailbox one day.  So the mobiles here are looking pretty good. Language is a barrier though. I hope you continue to like where you are. You are close to a lot of things there - So many nice western states. My son and his family liked the skiing and went up to Breckenridge in Colorado and to Utah for some of the slopes there.   Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2012 3:40 PM Subject: re: florida weather  hi carolyn ( and everyone else ).....i'm not from kentucky or tennessee.....i'm from canada i like your area of florida.....we've made many, many trips down that way.....there is alot to see in florida and we have probably seen most of it.....yes, it is hotter in midstate than it is near the coast we retired to the mountains in northern new mexico.....no, we're not near the ocean anymore but it is a whole new world to explore and learn about.....we didn't leave florida because of the heat, although the cooler temperatures are nicer for working outdoors.....we just wanted some space and more freedom.....peace, mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
