| And yes, we're still taking care of cats at Fearless Kitty Rescue. This is sweet Maverick, patiently waiting for a new home. |
Glad you are starting to enjoy your change of Lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Safe, Happy and Healthy New Year.
It's about time.
Yes, the change has been good so far!
DeleteHard to beat those white capped mountains with palm tree silhouettes...not to mention the Mc Dowell Mountain playground up the road. It will be interesting to see what comes this summer when the heat is on. Early mornings will be tolerable for walks and hiking, if you can rouse Jim out of bed :). Counting down here in Lovely Ouray...a winter wonderland again this year with 140% of normal snowpack. I have to admit that there were a few times during snow storms that I only left the house to plow snow and shovel walks. Of course Bobbie never misses a day no matter what the weather.

We would have a hard time getting out in that kind of weather, too, which is why we chose to settle somewhere that it didn't snow. Bobbie is amazing, but then you already know that :-)
DeleteHappy New Year, Jim and Gayle! So glad things are going well in Fountain Hills. We will be in Tucson for January. Let us know if you get our way. We love to see you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Happy New Year to you, too! Jim needs some dental work so we may be taking a trip to Algodones soon. Thought we might stop in Tucson either coming or going. I'll keep you posted.
DeleteHappy New Year! So glad you're enjoying this new chapter of your lives.
ReplyDeleteI think it was just time for a change. Jim was the one really pushing to get off the road and I wasn't sure how I would adapt but it feels good so far.
DeleteHappy New Year to you, too! Maybe 2020 will be the year we finally meet.
Sure are nice views from your place and plenty of hiking in the area. Of course kitties...
ReplyDeleteOf course, always kitties!
DeleteHappy New Year!!! Been off the blogging group for awhile with all of Mike’s surgeries!! Your view from the balcony is so pretty and peaceful!! So glad you all are still loving on those kitties at Fearless Kitty!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year you two!! The winter has been so pretty here in Arizona. Maverick looks quite regal :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you are blogging once a month at least so I can find out what you are up to. I'm going to read backwards and find out what has happened. That's some view from your balcony and the trails look terrific. What have you found that you really like about being off the road, other than much less driving I would assume.
