I Have a Dream!

Ok, so my dream is not noble like Martin Luther King Jr's dream.  Some might even say it is downright bad because it is materialistic.  I don't care...it's a dream and considering dreams rarely come true........ :)

My dream is to be an awesome snowbird before I turn 90 and not able to enjoy it!  I want to be independently wealthy so I can buy a house in the desert and a house in a small town in the mountains.  I would LOVE  to live in the mountains in the summer and fall.  Cooler temps, no need to drive with oven mits on my hands, no scars in the shape of a seatbelt buckle, RAIN, clean air, no traffic, have everyone wave at you as you drive, walk or ride a bike down the street, small town festivals, children actually able to play outside, not dying of heat stroke just walking to the car, energy to do all that I want to do, fall colors and sooooo much more! 

I would love to live in the desert during the winter and early spring months.  No SNOW!  Cool temps, but not so cold that you get frostbite on your nose, no shoveling snow, no driving in ice and snow and praying you can stay on the rd and so can everyone else, no scraping inch thick ice off windows, no having to start the car 30 min before leaving just to warm it up enough that you don't freeze to death, actually being able to go outside and not have to wear 12 layers of clothes and walk like a weeble wabble, no wondering if spring is ever really going to get here or just doing the fake out with the blossoms on the trees and the snow falling down and so much more!

Unfortunately there is this thing called work that gets in the way.  That is why I have to be independently wealthy to accomplish this dream.   

So this is my dream...pretty cool one I think.  I know I would make a great snow bird!!  Anyone want to help me to see my dream come true??!!
