We came back home to Concord NH on July 5 this year. We know what we are facing with the winter, but in our case we will have nothing to do with clearing snow. Our youngest son built us a beautiful apartment attached to their home and it has turned out to be better than expected. We really like living in New England, like the people, the food, especially the fish and lobsters, the fresh produce that people sell from their front yards, and most of all we love the foliage colors in the fall. We have four grandchildren, two here and two in the Southern States, they all intend to move back to NH when they have their own families.
It has been a great move and I would have done it sooner, but my other half was enjoying his various activities until one day he said OK, lets go. We spent 18 yrs in Florida, but we both knew we did not want to die in Florida or end up in an assisted living facility.
Life is good and it is great to be back home with family and friends. .
