We certainly found Missouri beautiful as we were traveling through it. But yes, Michigan and Arizona are very much two extremely different kinds of beauty and excitement.P. J.

I love the SW, I love your peninsula. I'd probably love Florida if I spent time there. But I think the sheer extremes in the landscape of MI and AZ is what would make it the most fun to inhabit both.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-74951902812849955642015-05-05T08:02:41.174-07:002015-05-05T08:02:41.174-07:00Karen, it was interesting to spend time with old f...Karen, it was interesting to spend time with old friends in Arizona and have one of them say she missed the woods much more than the water. I can understand that, since I seldom get out on the water but almost daily enjoy walks through or along the edge of woods. <br /><br />Then there was this message in my morning e-mail: <br /><br />"I hope this is the address where I can expect you to see my comments. I have so enjoyed reading about your summer trip, and had so many things to say about it that the fact that nothing got through to you irks me, to say the least. I spent some time in the southwest and visited a lot of the places you did. If this gets to you, please reply with a smiley face or some word that I know I have found a way to talk back with you. Thanks. Cheri"<br /><br />Cheri, hi! :) The only thing I know for sure about leaving comments is that after you hit 'publish' you need to wait longer than you think it should take to see a message that your comment has been received. If anyone wants to experiment with that and see if it helps, please let me know.<br /><br /><br />P. J.

Wherever one is, I think there is something that anchors one to the sense of place of that location. I don't think seriously (yet) about going someplace else in the winter, but if I did, I think I'd want a place with water and greenery, although many friends love AZ.
