But I don't like being cold -- not even "a little chilly". Things have really changed since we left the North. LOL
You got that correct BK. The Pool was a go for the first two years just about every day and we wondered why everyone else was blowing the opportunity to be in the Pool also. NOTHING could stop us.

We were here a short period of time as we purchased in the summer of 2016. We were looking out our dining room window and watched the four houses across the street bail out, one after the other. These people have been here for years and were in the know as to when it was time to go. We were perplexed as to why they didn't call us, they had our numbers. We sat that one out but never saw anything like it back in The North. We expected to see flying Cows going past the window any minute!

We pay a little more attention as we are in a Manufactured Home but I catch your drift that the anxiety level has dropped. We have a Go Bag but now we also have a Stay Plan and supplies to make it for a while including a simple Generator.

Did we do the best thing BK changing our lives from there to here? I vote yes! We lived frozen up north and are now are sissies when it drops into the low 60's.
