I am Linda, the wife of JimCurl. We moved from Ohio to TV in 2014. He was happy in Ohio and happy in TV. I, on the other hand, missed the beautiful changes of seasons of Ohio. The cheerful newness of plantings in the Spring, the lushness of grass and trees in the Summer, the beautiful colors and smells of Fall , and the crystal snowflakes and warm glow of a fireplace in the chill of the Winter (I have always been okay to shovel the snow for us). I am so grateful that he was willing to move back here to Ohio. I missed the warmth of Summer where one can be outside when it is 90 degrees and still feel a cool breeze through the trees. The season of Summer is meant to be outside and enjoy everyday pleasures of nature. I, now, don't have to run from air conditioning to air conditioning to be comfortable in the warm weather. Ohio may have rain showers, or be cloudy for a few days -- but changes in weather are like enduring changes in life. The comfort of knowing, in an emergency, we have the ability to get out of the state driving any direction: North, South, East or West --- unlike Florida where your only exit is NORTH --- when everyone else is frantically trying to drive North. I am so lucky. After 44 years of marriage, Jim and I feel love is when both partners are equally happy -- I am doing my best to make certain that he is happy back in Ohio. Things are looking good. I left Florida to make room for others who want to live in Florida - in The Villages. P.S. I was born and raised in Michigan -- but I LOVE OHIO! My best wishes to all of you who love The Villages!
