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 at then.

Life's good when we follow our hearts and dreams.

Thank you dear P. I needed your comforting post. I read Bluedogs post and swallowed twice as I called the realtor this morning to meet and sign papers on this Thursday to sell this very beloved place.

The yard is getting bigger and the neighbors we knew well are thinning out and the dear grandchildren will be ready to seek their own fortunes in a couple of years. But we love our pretty Ohio. I think it is hard for a lot of people to leave the place they have lived all of their lives.

I will read your post again.
