Default Interested in a courtyard in a young, active area?

I'm thinking of selling and moving back north. Lived here 18 months, Husband died six months ago, I don't like my job, the bills are tight on one income, I'm not smiling much anymore. Want a great courtyard villa with brand new custom landscaping?
(You're the first one I've mentioned this to! -- I guess I've got up my nerve!)

(Fast-Forward 6 years)...

Now, my wife LOVES her job and everything about it. She has no plans or desires to leave it anytime soon...She'll probably be there until THEY kick her out!

I'll admit, retirement took some getting used to for me. It was quite an adjustment. I'am still adjusting but finally feeling comfortable with trying to fill up a 16 hour day...EVERYDAY! So...thats why I have TV in my sights.

I think a second home in TV is in my very near future. She'll know where I'am at, and how to get there. I'll check in from time to time (heheheheee) and she can come on down when she's good and ready.

Besides (and this is the best part) We're only a 2 hour drive from TV.
