Kepple:
I'm sure that many will jump in to reassure you that TV is Right For You!
Maybe I'm biased: today, 01/24, is the 7th anniversary of my closing down here! Haven't regretted a single minute.
My younger daughter, still in the St. Louis area, told me when I announced that maybe I'd move, "What's taken you so long? And, you know that we'll visit soon!"
Everyone's situation is different, but . . . I have no granchildren, but I am convinced that if I did, they'd love it here. Even if they could visit crusty old grandpa only once or twice a year!
Do not, repeat not, be afraid that you won't have any friends! Almost everyone I know here was worried about that at one time, but once they arrived they learned that that was a non-viable worry!
Tales abound: you arrive before your moving van, and spend a couple of nights sleeping on the floor; by the time your van shows up, you have worked out the kinks from sleeping on the floor and have at least two new friends - your next-door neighbors; after the van leaves, your neighbors may well appear armed with wine, cheeses, and welcoming arms; within the week, the whole street has made you feel at home, and you will begin to worry about how to re-pay their kindness!
Welcome to both TV and TOTV!
