Dh is in FL, as I type. Just had an interview yesterday (mon) and going on another Thurs. Yep, the Sunshine state. Well, y'all know I've been wanting to get out of the cold forever and this could be my ticket.



I have family there - not too close, but close enough, so that would be nice. It would be tough being so far away from my DGD but at the same time, the jobs are scarce up here and the winters eternal.

Just for grins I'm looking at the houses in the area - just to be sure if we really want to be there. Wow, all rivers, canals, etc. I can see living like that, with my own boat hanging right off my deck and the canal right out my window.



Told dh I will not leave here - my home, my flowers - for just any ol' thing. It'll have to impress me. Jeez, for what I can get out of my house (which is paid off, and current economy considered), I can have something a bit smaller but on the water with a boat slip and a summer kitchen? Who knew!



I give that 5 dancing chilis.

He's driving around checking things out between interviews, trying to catch little lizzards, lol, calling me every hour. I told him I see us feeling very at home, mixing margaritas on the deck, waving at the neighbors passing in their boats.

The dogs will be freaking about the lizzards as I'm planting all my citrus trees...


Wish us luck!

Hey Cath!! You got it; keeping fingers crossed for you and DH. Sounds like an adventure and just the right place to set up camp. I hope everything goes well for DH's interview and just remember~~ planes are there for visits.

It's good to see you excited about the prospect of relocating!!!

I think it needs 10 chili's!!!!

Keeping fingers crossed! Sounds like it could be a nice change for you both.

Cathy...that sounds wonderful. I hope everything works out just the way
it should!!!!

Oh, Brain! That would be so excellent for you! Never fear for visitors, once you live in a vacation destination, friends & family come out of the woodwork. It happened to me when I lived in a summer tourist town here.

Methinks your doggies will wig out a tad more from the alligators!

I hope everything works out in your favor, Brain. The climate change will take some getting used to but somehow I think you can handle it!!

Please keep us posted on your hubby's success. If it's meant to be it will happen. I firmly believe that.

How soon will the "visitor calendar" be ready so I can book my weekend??

Oh my gosh, I hope you can do it! I'll be thinking positive house-finding and job-getting thoughts for you!

You got it. I hope it works out and will say some prayers for you all.

I believe that too, that it'll happen if it's meant to.

I'll let ya know when we're settled in, but you may end up sharing the guest room with FFM and/or Momma once word of fishing gets out.

Brain, I'm wishing you and DH the best of luck. What a nice change Florida will be from northern Ohio!
