My late husband and I bought a little home on Rocky Creek when he was in grad school at ASU in the '70's. It's the remotest "close to town" place I've ever lived in and the trout stream that ran through our front yard fed us many a night! Great neighbors, mostly from Florida back then, in summer. In winter, we owned the whole long road nearly! Doesn't seem to have changed much last time I drove in there.<br />Lots of houses way back but don't know if any are for sale. coversquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221036745726679184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-12443413154019669872013-03-02T22:47:20.857-05:002013-03-02T22:47:20.857-05:00Are you intending to hold small retreats in your w...Are you intending to hold small retreats in your week end house.

I was out enjoying our 70 degree sunny weather today here in Las Vegas, NV. We are retired and live two miles from the Mt. Charleston turnoff, so we go up there when we get lonesome for snow. Had a great snowball fight with our grandchildren last month! (Yes, I know you all are thinking it will be over 100 degrees soon--we went to high school here and we're used to it.

Because of the "tanking" market we found a short sale home that was much more house than we would have been able to afford normally. We paid cash for the house and spent a couple of years repairing it (it had been abused by the prior owners) and within the last few months both the DH and I have retired and relocated to the new place. HEAVEN!!! You will KNOW it's the right place when you find it ... you just know it!
