Default Re: Back Home

Unless one is from an old neighborhood where time has stood still, it seems there is no real "back home" in the true sense of it. Families change, neighborhoods change. Most of our "back home" neighborhoods look totally different from when we started there. Mine surely has. It started out with all the neighbors staying put until our generation became of age and moved on to their adult life. Then all the "parent" generation passed on. New young people bought the houses in the "old neighborhood" and made them into a newer version. My extended family has passed on or moved on. Suddenly I am the last one in town! Is it hard to leave? Heck no! Show me the nearest Villages pool and put a margarita in my hand. TV is the gold at the end of the rainbow.

p.s. Don't need no stinkin noodle, I float - that fluffiness comes in handy sometimes.
