Lots of interesting takes on places to live. I've been all over the Mountain and Central time zones... Haven't made the Northeast much or the far West coast. But of all the places I've seen pictures of that I have not been, Kalispell MT seems like a place for me... at least May to December. Spending Spring to Christmas sounds like a nice plan and maybe go Arizona way for the Winter. I think it is partly just because of the name... Sounds mystical. Not too big but not a hole in the wall either, beautiful scenery, mountains, mild summers, low humidity ... I think I could handle that.
