Every place we have traveled to around the World except three (Florida, Fiji, and Cancun) we have liked them well enough to live full time. But then we remember these two stories and how much we enjoy our time with our Granddaughters. Also it has to be a place where we can walk to our favorite Restaurants and Bars.
We’re definitely not like that. I have been to quite a few places and have only felt that way about Hawaii. At the moment no grandchild and none on the foreseeable future. DD lives in Florida and DS lives in the same small town we do. They are both very independent and living their own lives, as it should be. We see our son every couple of months, he works nights. We are in contact with our daughter through the internet mostly. She visits every year or two.
DD bought a condo and move out when she was 20 and DS bought a house and moved out when he was 19. I feel blessed, I always say we must have raised them well. They are good people.
I suppose we may not see my son as often but nothings saying he’s going to stay where he’s at either. Plus, there’s plenty of ways to stay in contact now a days.
The being close to town is a part of our decision here. One property is a mile from town and the other is 13 miles from town. We live about 10 miles to town now in Wisconsin so we have done both and we’ll have to see. This may come down to where the best deal is at.
People can always talk their way out of not doing something. Sometimes it’s right, sometimes it might not have been, who knows. All you can do is think it through the best you can and decide. We are either going to buy at the right price or not buy at all. That way if things don’t work, we can go wherever we want. We wouldn’t look at that as a failure. I don’t think that way. if we decide to leave, It will be something we tried and we moved on to something else.
