I think living in Florida is great at my age, but there are times I reminisce after 7 years down here.
We travel back, but it just isn't the same.

For me it has to be the 4 seasons, not the snow and cold, but the change in weather, the fall colors that never seem to last long enough.
The farm fields in summer watching the crops progress from month to month, or the smell of freshly cut hay and miles of corn fields.
I never look back, only move forward. I have never been back to the town where I was born. I have never been back to the town where i went to high school. I have never been back to the town where I graduated from college. I moved here from Texas 21 years ago, and have never been back there. I love it here!
