Why?
There are many issues and mysteries in this big world of ours that beg the question "Why?".
My latest....I just finished snowblowing and shoveling 11" of snow from my driveway and walk and it hasn't stopped snowing yet. It's very pretty...but.. Why?...oh Why are we not in The Villages already? |

Been there done that
Yeah......like all the MONEY it takes to heat the home for 8 months of the year....all the money it takes to get the snowblower fixed when it breaks the night before you get 12 inches of snow overnight....all the money it takes to have on retainer a truck-snowplow owner to come and plow you out when it's too deep for the snowblower.....all the money it takes to have a new driveway put in because the truck snowplow ripped up some edges of concrete slabs....all the money it takes to buy snowmobile suits to be able to go outside when it is 30 degrees below zero plus a 20 mph wind....all the money you lose when you can't get to work because you're snowed in.....all the money you lose if you own a business and your employees and customers can't get there....
I'll take TV with the heat in July/August and pleasant evening temps that make for social fun outside every night, year-round possible! |

I feel you pain. This winter even though the calendar says it's spring really s**ked. I know it's a rhetorical question but my reason is because my condo did not sell last year and still spending time in the winter c***. The best laid plans of mice and men. Hopefully we will be at a happy hour in TV soon. |

Why indeed! We have had over 150 inches of snow this year, and it's snowing outside right now. I've lived in the snow belt for 57 of my 61 years, and have one winter yet to go before we move to TV. Syracuse averages 121 inches per year (more than any other U.S. larger city). So by my calculation, I've endured nearly 6900 inches of snow in my life (that's about 575 feet!), and I only have about ten feet more to go before I can leave for good. So if you see a couple and their beagle (who, by the way, loves the snow) walking around sunny TV in the winter of 2012-2013 with impossibly wide smiles, it'll be us.

Lake home on Lake Minnewaska in the summer for four months rest time in TV. Best of both worlds except for the mosquitoes.

I know your visit with your granddaughter must have been wonderful. I'm wishing for you another visit real soon!

What a nice thought. Now that you mention it, I'm wishing her another visit soon, too.
