The homes near the beaches are not laid out to our liking and the insurance is expensive, then there are the hurricanes.
We have to drive very far to do the things we like, shopping, Trader Joe's, etc.
So we have decided to move back to the area we have been familiar with for our entire lives, plus we don't golf.
TV is beautiful and is great for 98% of people, but we are in the 2%.
I will miss the friendly people and the beautiful weather in the wintertime.

Good morning and best wishes on your decision.
When I saw your post, I just had to stop in here and share a little something with you that I think you might like.
You could be too young to remember Doris Day. She was from Ohio, too. My place. Cincinnati.
As soon as I saw what you were saying, one of Doris Day's songs popped into my head. -- I have a bit of a quirk. I think in song lyrics sometimes. Most of the time the songs are really old. Songs I must have heard from my playpen. I don't know why I do this, but it is a quirk I long ago figured I might as well embrace. If only, if only "Name That Tune" were still on television. Oh well, I digress, another quirk........ so anyway........
Here is a link for you to Doris Day singing
Why Oh Why Oh Why Oh Did I Ever Leave Ohio? -- I can pretty much guarantee that if you listen to this a couple of times, it will play sweetly in your head all day and you might even take a little twirl around the lanai with your wife as you think about your new plan.
