Arizona Vacation

It's been four days since our plane landed in Phoenix.It's been eleven years since we moved and four years since we were here to visit.In some ways it seems like we never left, in some ways it feels like we never lived here at all. Some things have changed so very much since we left. Other things have stayed eerily the same. Take my mom for instance, her house has not changed one bit. It's a nice little house, but I think the same magazines are in the same magazine holder since we left........ She is so set in her ways! It makes me think about moving back here a little, who is going to take care of her when she needs it? Her friends have always been here for her, but what happens when something happens to them and they are no longer able to take care of each other? Our son J1 said we couldn't move here, because he wasn't ready to move away yet! I'm know he wasn't all kidding!!! He likes the fact that we are 22 hours away by car and only a phone cal ll away if his account gets too low to live. J2 my daughter that's in college said she didn't care if we moved, she'd actually have a cool place to vacation in the summers. D2 my daughter who is a Sophomore in HS was horrified that we might actually be serious about moving before she graduated. The thought of leaving the fantastic friends I've made in MO makes me ill. So for now, I guess we just think of our old home town as a vacation spot! G
