We too are from the Pacific N.W. (Birch Bay) and love our retirement days here having lived in Santa Fe, NM for over 20 years. <br /><br />The Tucson area has a smaller city feel for a second home, so much to do and see without that big city hustle, might be a perfect place for those chilly WA winters. <br /><br />Enjoy that beautiful copper red, slow hikes, and clean Sedona air.<br /><br />Greetings, from Nancy at the Boat HouseThe Boat Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06345698950176124107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-61505424772208646372012-01-13T18:48:37.391-08:002012-01-13T18:48:37.391-08:00It's such a beautiful area.

Those guys are so beautiful I think they ought to be rare, but I've seen them all over the country.<br /><br />Nance - when I hurt my back (sat down in a chair an inch and a half lower than I expected) I compressed nerves in the lumbar area. The only symptom I have is tingling in my feet. The doc says that will diminish over time.

Sedona is lovely and hiking...well, in my dreams I'll do it again someday. I'm fascinated by that doctor telling you not to be afraid of your symptoms. If I may ask, what symptoms does he mean?

Luckily, they caught the typo before it was sent. Whew! How many times did I proofread that?! I'm telling you, it takes a village to proofread.

We can have a few days of dreary skies and rain this time of year, but it is more likely in February or March. Since it never lasts for more than 2-3 days, us sun-lovers don't get too stir crazy.<br /><br />Hiking in Sedona is a real treat. Your pictures make me want to drive up soon. We may go to Prescott next weekend.
