Good morning ! We got a lot accomplished yesterday, the biggest chunk being picking up and dealing with two+ weeks of held mail and packages at the Post Office. Before we left, I had started switching out winter and summer clothes. It snowed here yesterday and is 28 degrees this morning, so I have piles of winter things I'm digging back into, and piles of summer things looking for permanent lodging. We have decided to sell our NY house and move to a warmer place permanently. How does northern FL sound Ceci ? We could be neighbors! I need my NYS pension to remain untaxed by the state I live in, DC needs access to good VA care and medical marijuana, and we need easy access to a larger airport to get quick flights to my DDs, mother, and family. The thought of down sizing ( I rarely wear professional clothes and have LOTS) and packing up a home can be overwhelming. Just can't take more snow and cold.
Lots of love and support to all traveling, seeking finalization, and walking the path that moves us forward.

Thank you for saving everyone from starting with my drivel. I'm so happy you had a good vacation! Where would you contemplate in Florida? St. Augustine? Panhandle?
Time to start housecleaning today. I was lazy yesterday and didn't do much. It was HOT here (high 80's) and will be hotter today so I'll keep the AC down lower and the fans on while I work.
We had a good dinner out last night at one of the best local restaurants, then a final drink at a Tiki bar we like across the street. Lots of VERY DRUNK visitors in the area this week. We actually left the first place to escape one and ended up with another chatty one at the second place, so we went home.
Have a safe and healthy Tuesday!

Weight 185. Did Pilates class yesterday.
How exciting considering relocating, DianeO!
My car wasn't ready yesterday (they said it was, but the service advisor rejected it saying they missed two spots - grateful she was so observant!). Hopefully today.
Not much else going on today. A walk perhaps.
Good morning from Grants, NM. I do not like NM. It is so dry I awaken with a bloody nose. Scratch New Mexico off the retirement list. I also think the state is pretty poor and I have a hunch that crime might possibly be higher than the norm. I see doors barred and barbed wired around areas I would normally not think to even fence off in other areas. The landscape is also just not terribly attractive to me. The terrain is stunning at times, but I think this is a place to visit.
I ate three squares yesterday. Starting today off with steel cut oats, banana and blueberries, greek yogurt and some coffee.
Hope to make Barstow tonight. Can't help but sing Route 66 in my head on and off. I'm following the historic route and the song is like a little ear worm.....
Diane Mc, I hope you can survive the summers in Florida. Is being a snow bird and option?
We're looking at Gainesville and Lake City right now, both in north Florida.

We'll summer (June- August for sure) in our RV, where ever we want to be. We are looking for "hurricane safer" areas, and can bug out in the RV if need be.

Good morning. Moving south is a favorite topic among Minnesotans of a certain age. Northern Florida, I love to visit the panhandle but don't think I would live there. I don't think I'd fit in well. I've only visited for day trips, but I love the vibe of St. Augustine. It would be on my list, but I'm not sure about the airport in Jacksonville, whether it is "major" or not, and Orlando is about 2 hours.
Having a lazy morning in our room at the lovely Venetian Resort. It's cooler today (high 70 degrees down from the mid 80s), so today will be checking out some exhibits away from the pool.
