I hear ya Larry... even being a Washington native myself I sometimes can't get past the rain!!! My wife and I have been looking at a place in Surprise, AZ at a place called Sun Village which is a very nice 55 and better community. We really like it down there and we have family and friends there as well so we'll see. I'm already real estate poor up here with 3 places so I dunno if I wanna go with 4 but sometimes you just need to get outta the rain!

All I know is even with all the rain, when it's nice, sunny and warm here there's no place more beautiful!

BTW... thanks for posting the pic's with the sunshine! That helped a little!
