I'm from Ca too
I am also from California, raised in Woodland Hills and lived all over the Central Coast. I loved it. I was transferred to Kennedy Space Center back in 1991 and adjusted to the climate. Now I love it here. I agree about the fruits and veggies with the exception of the local citrus. It is fabulous. All they can grow here is warm weather veggies, so the cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower are shockingly poor, but they are trucked for a week to get here. Buy frozen and enjoy the good things Florida and The Villages has to offer. Beautiful springs, state parks, green all year. I still get excited when it rains, we got so little in Ca. I am a charter member of the California Club and they just did a Santa Maria BBQ. I order my pinquito beans from Santa Maria where I lived for many years. Welcome to paradise. I am sure we will meet.
