What do you miss from the North --
We lived in a small farming community. (although we did not farm!). We were so close to many family owned farm markets. If you went in the morning to get fresh corn on the cob, the owner would say - "come back after 3:00, when the just picked corn would be available."
Fresh produce and fruit, homemade donuts and apple cider, a nursery where they grew and sold only two types of flowers - in the summer they sold only geraniums and at Christmas, just poinsettas. All a very short drive from our home.
Having a small town atmosphere, when you did your banking, the manager and tellers knew you. The druggist knew you, the grocery store manager knew you. and etc.
But change is good -- it's interesting and challenging at the same time.
The Fla. weather makes up for a lot of the things I miss about the North!
