Loved it. So fun and compelling at the same time. I especially appreciate it as I live in Tucson and go to Scottsdale often. I have a good friend that is a realtor there asnwell.

Alice in wonderland.

You will be amused to know that this story is perfectly true.

As a teen I moved from California to Tucson and noticed that I lost 5 lbs of water weight each time I crossed the border and gained it back immediately when I crossed back to California. Also my depression from being in that horrible desert stopped me from eating sometimes so i lost another 10 lbs.😆😆😆 all is well now.

How fun! Curious because you must have some ties to AZ with how many specific details there are here! I currently live in northern Arizona, and lived in Phx for many years!

Been there a few times! Unique place. That and Google Maps and I can piece together a story. 😁😁
