I'm more curious as to why you didn't stay as opposed to what attracted you to TV. Perhaps cost of living, weather, etc.

Personally I moved because of the weather. The winters finally beat me down. If it wasn't for the brutal weather up north there is nothing here, either in Florida or TV, that would have made me move south.
Actually we bought a new courtyard villa thinking we were going to rent it out & be snow birds. So when we went back to Ohio for some reason I told my wife, lets try & sell our house & by something smaller since we're only going to be in Ohio for 6 months. We told one neighbor he he bought it right away, so not having a home to go to, I asked my wife do you want to just move to Florida, so that's what we did. When we got here we found out this courtyard wasn't going to be big enough so we bought a Lilac designer home in the village of Charolette. Now were debating what to do next .
