Just to bad the good Lord made 6 months of spring, summer, and fall up there

In my younger days in Wisconsin I own 6 boats, fished Lake Michigan, wolf and Fox rivers.
Iced fished, hiked and camped the state parks, cross country skied, rode my Goldwing everywhere, raised our adopted son, made a good living, attended many Packer games and now it is a change of scenery in my old age, no more snow to drive in, walk in, or drive in.

I love to LOOK at snow but stress out about having to drive on slick roads so the only way for me to enjoy winter is to hibernate. I love sunny Florida’s heat & don't mind the humidity with afternoon a/c breaks. Beach time is unparalleled. Very grateful to have my health & enough wealth to cover all my needs & some wants too. Seriously never dreamt I’d have both! Would love to have my kids nearby but that's not for me to choose. TV is a fantastic blend. It’s as if they took all the very best of midwest suburban living & made it just for older folks like me! Other age-restricted communities are kinda creepy IMO. I’m glad for the nearby areas for families since too much sameness can foster contempt.
