I returned yesterday from two weeks in the sunshine, but I'm really glad to be home and to pick up MY life again. Her community is nice, but it's just not right for me.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248452688088218010.post-30361057067476200792013-02-08T21:25:59.718-05:002013-02-08T21:25:59.718-05:00I am in Tucson for two months and love it: the sun...I am in Tucson for two months and love it: the sunshine, the many activities, the interesting conversations, the friendly people, the convenience of walking, the light traffic. Our resort is eight miles from town but since my husband does the shopping that is fine with me. <br /><br />I can't see myself living here year round. I love Washington State except for the dark winters. I like neighborhood diversity, little kids running around, slouchy teenagers. We'll be home in about five weeks, and I'm fine with that.<br /><br />I'm lucky to have the best of both worlds.Linda Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706455533282204519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248452688088218010.post-12955050820163840932013-02-08T20:11:26.211-05:002013-02-08T20:11:26.211-05:00I am in FL for the winter and love it. I always s...I am in FL for the winter and love it. I always said: NEVER Florida, NEVER a gated community, NEVER 55+ community, NEVER a mobile home. However, the present arrangement does allow me to avoid VT winters and have access to a rural beach. I do not participate in most of the community activities, but I have friends here for small, quiet get togethers. I still vote in VT. The best of both worlds for now. Who knows what the future will bring.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248452688088218010.post-18526047152074819442013-02-08T18:46:04.712-05:002013-02-08T18:46:04.712-05:00I don't blame you.

But I miss my little cottage in the woods, it has the tranquility I need for nine months out of the year. The condo is nice, but people, people, people all the time. Everything has its pluses and minuses. Here its warm and snow free!!! Speaking of snow, stay dry and warm and I hope Nemo can't find you!!!Muffy's Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826630430126318583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248452688088218010.post-76669246627868751082013-02-08T17:18:23.512-05:002013-02-08T17:18:23.512-05:00I've been enjoying three weeks in sunny Florid...I've been enjoying three weeks in sunny Florida among all my fellow gray beards, where a lot of things are cheap, but flood insurance rates can run into thousands of dollars a year. Now I'm ready to get back to the real world of the Northeast (well, just as soon as they shovel out!).<br /><br />P. S. I'm not a football fan either, but in my ignorance picked Baltimore to win, and won back the dollar I lost on the golf course.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.com
