Default I need some sympathy!

Hi everyone....just looking for a little sympathy here. Where I live, there is a winter storm warning out for 6" to 12" of snow for tomorrow afternoon through Thursday! Why can't I already live in TV! If you could all soak up some extra sun and warmth for me I'd appreciate it.

Not so Happinow

I am in the same boat. I just spoke with my nephew who is vacationing for two weeks near The Villages, and they were sitting by the pool! He said there is record high temp in forecast for tomorrow. I'm thinking I am in the wrong place!

It was a beautiful day here today....not too warm, very comfortable. Lanai doors were opened, front door and garage door had their screens down and a nice breeze blew through. Get here quickly... (Stay safe in the nasty weather you hear!)

Default I'll think of you Happinow

'cause I'm happy now that we are in Georgia on our way to TV TOMORROW!!! We left Ontario on Monday after a snowstorm on the weekend and I understand they are expecting a major dump over the next 2 days. I feel blessed that we managed to find a window just when we needed it. It is raining now but you don't have to shovel water and next week promises WARM weather which I haven't felt since the last time I was in TV in November. I'm sure that the weather will get better and better for you and you will be in TV before you know it. Hope to see you at the May Crisper lunch.

Glad you got out in time to miss the mess. It does get tricky traveling this time of year. I envy you getting to feel the warmth and sun on your skin and in your bones. Soak it up and we will see you in may!!

You're so unsympathetic, but you still make me laugh. I'm beginning to like you.

Actually, you can! Rent a house until yours is finished. That way you can go over and see the progress each day, annoy the construction crew, have coffee with Gracie, then when it warms, go back up and pack to move.
Problem solved!

Now that's an idea. A lot of people do that. We have too many loose ends to tie up here, not a thing packed (hope to start today) and my 84 year old mother isn't taking the move too well, so I shall stay here until the last minute! Thanks for the idea, though.
