Now, with prices so high (in Ohio too), they've decided to just rent every winter, and it seems to suit them just fine. We spend longer in TV than here in Ohio, and we were lucky to have bought a condo here in 2012, when prices took a dip for a couple of years.

Our friends are great grandparents - got their grandkids thru Covid school, and last year (and probably this year too) they will tutor one of them who needs it. Through Zoom, I think.
I have been thinking that way. I would have to sell my house and move into a condo. To leave a house in the winter when it snows might be too much. Unless, I have someone shovel for me, but I do not think I would do that. First, move into a condo where grounds get taken care of. That has been a thought to really get a feel for things.
