Hi Bluedog,
It is so nice to hear that you did what is best for you. Sounds like your welcome home was delightful and heartening!
My parents maintained a home in ATL and a home in south Florida for many, many years for much the same reasons. Eventually, as they made more close and long-time friends in Florida, got more involved in fun activities there and, as maintaining two homes became more difficult, they became full-time Florida residence. (My Dad passed away last year.) Both decisions were so right for them at the different times in their lives.
I mention this only to say, don't ever feel guilty if the day comes when making the move full time-- either to TV or back north-- is best for you then.
Life's good when we follow our hearts and dreams.
