I am a snowbird 6.5 months in Fl and the rest in Illinois. I am fortunate that my 5 grandkids ranging from 8-22 all have birthdays during the summer when I am here as well as my 2 children. I have been doing this for 12 years since I retired. I have owned 3 homes in TV. The last one I bought is the last one. I will however move back to be with family in the next few years. Why? It's too. much of a fairyland in TV and I enjoy the real world with all ages surrounding me. Poor health care in TV (absolutely) where I am at we have 5 teaching hospitals, much better care, better food in restaurants and most importantly my family. I am not a full time villager and never will be. Sitting around the table during holidays with others in the TV pales compared to sitting with family and extended family. My final years will be spent in Il with a trip somewhere Jan - Mar health permitting.
