We will be selling our NY home and moving down to our Florida home full time within a year or so. Life is a trade off, and all in all, I feel we are making an upgrade.
Still, there will be things I will miss, like;
1) The smell of fall and the crunch of colorful leaves under your feet.
2) Our church.
3) Fireflies and hummingbirds and Orioles
4) Having a choice of 20 good pizza places within 5 miles
5) Beef on Wecks, white hots, Chevettas
6) Wegmans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7) Grass that does not look like crabgrass
8) Snowblowing..(just a tiny bit)
9) Good ice cream places
10) Fish fries on Friday nights
11) Dunkin Donuts and Tim Hortons

What I won't miss;
1) Potholes
2) Snow, Ice, Black ice, Snowplows
3) Scraping your windshield, warming up your car for 20 minutes
4) Rusty cars from roadsalt, EVERYTHING rusty.
5) NYS taxes!
6) High heating bills
7) Closet full of winter clothes
8) Pushing shopping carts through slush, ice, etc.
9) Seeing the birds leave in fall because they're smarter then we are
10) Winterizing everything

But, I will get in trade;
1) Cool birds like Sand Hill Cranes
2) Cool roads with replectors on them, like Airport runways
3) BIG lighted streetsigns
3) A Walgreens on every corner (sarcasm)
4) No owning of ice scrapers, snowblowers , snowshovels
5) Palm Trees!!!!
6) little lizards everywhere
7) Cockroaches disguised as "PALmetto bugs"
8) Dressing like Hawaii 5-0 all year.
9) Cars lasting longer with NO RUST
10) My golf cart
11) Gators in my back yard pond.
12) low taxes, only one license plate
13) No stairs in my house, (sadly no basement)
14) No basement to keep clean
15) My own orange trees, (got 5 citrus trees....)
16) Mickey Mouse only a half hour away.
17) The Villages just right up the road from me.
