What do you miss?
 
What do you miss, if anything, about your former life before moving to TV?

Absolutely nothing except a few relatives and friends....but they are far more prone to visit us here, where there is sunshine year-round, than they did in the midwest.

I miss good beef. I'm from Texas where the beef is so tender you can cut it with a fork. Here it's so stringy you can't hardly get it down. I also miss making a decent wage. Other than that, not much.

I miss my best friend terribly and I still miss our big house, but I also love this littlier house, or I will once we get it organized and looking neat. Looks like a hurricane went through right now!

Not a thing....really. Had a nice house, yard, location, friends. Here I have a nicer house, a nicer yard, a great location, wonderful friends.... AND hubby is retired and gets to enjoy those things, too!

Besides the obvious things like friends, family, etc., I miss wonderful home-grown tomatoes. I haven't had a decent tomato since moving to Florida!

The restaurants, the shopping, radio stations, Broadway theater, the restaurants, the restaurants. . .

I miss the gorgeous autumn foliage, walking in the rustling leaves and the smell of fall.

I miss my kids stopping in whenever they felt like it, I don't see them nearly enough and I miss real fall days and Minnesota sweet corn!

We were in Park Rapids area for our annual family vacation last week and had some delicious fresh-picked peaches and cream sweet corn. :mmmm:

Only someone from the East Coast would move to Florida and miss seafood!:D That's the reason I'm moving there..no seafood here in Michigan (well, great lakes perch and walleye...delicious!)

Thanks to all of you who replied. Everyday I ask myself what would I miss if we moved to Florida. I would miss October festivals , tomatoes, sweet corn, and the grandkids. Since many of you are still there, I am going to assume that none of you would move back for the things you miss. It is going to be a hard decision --- and we haven't even made it down there yet for a preview. We are trying to decide if could completely let go of the midwest, or if we need to have a place here and one in TV. I guess TV needs to put in a corn field and tomato patch!

Blue Crabs....by the bushel
