Having two residences is hard on your pocketbook and on your nerves and very much worth it if you have family and small grandchildren living near you.
Our two grandchildren are now launched into the world of higher education and a career, so leaving their dear mother was still hard, but she was pretty busy and we weren't so we bravely looked them all in the eye and said. "If we don't do it NOW, when will we do it?". Time was kinda trickling away and we became frogs about a year and a half ago at just past 70 years of age. We loved having a part time home here but frogdom is better. You can continue your friendships year 'round and I am almost black and blue from pinching myself and Sweetie feels the same.
This place is HOT and Rainy and this is our second summer and we are not minding it at all. In fact, we love summers far better than the high SEASON when SOME, not all, people who don't care as much about this place as we do crowd it all up
