Sorry Sunny, but I got to stick around Fort Lauderdale.  I'll keep my eyes open for anyone wanting to relocate to the Central Florida area.  Is your area an easy commute to job centers?

Job centers, such as....? We're an hour commute to Orlando (give or take with I-4 traffic) - an hour commute to Tampa - and an hour commute to Vero Beach. Not too bad.

It's also a quick drive to Lakeland which is a decent size city.

That's the thing I'll miss the most, being so close to the Gulf & Atlantic Coasts. But, there's always vacation.  :smile:

Wow!  I'm trying to visualize what area of the state that would be an hour drive to all 3 of those locations.  An hour isn't too bad.  Some of us in South Florida have an hour commute just becuase of the traffic around here.

Although the town doesn't show up on too many big maps, we are literally in the center of FL (where HWY27 and State Road 60 intersect).

Awesome map Sunny.  That's a great visual, and it helps a lot.  It does appear that you're right in the center of Florida.   ;D

Good...I'm a very visual person.

My husband promised me that Hurricanes would NEVER affect us in the middle...until Charley, Frances, and Jeanne came along!  :biggrin:

That was a wicked season for you, too?

Charley was the worst...CatIII when it rolled by.

I'll take a blizzard any day. :wink:

Yeah, that was a bad year.  Actually last year was the worst for us with Wilma.

LOL.... thanks for the maps... i am a stong visual learner, too....
i think that as "skinny" as Fla. is, there is no safe place in a hurricane.

Heck, several years ago, Hugo even made it all the way in here to the Mountain State, and blew things about a bit... but I am surely with you... give me a blizzard any day!

And, in honor of your homecoming,Sunny, may this be a year full of them ....  (sorry, Magistrate)

Awwww...thanks, LRHG! I'd be happy with one or two good snowstorms! My mother always told me about the "Blizzard of 72" which occurred the night of my birth in which the doctor couldn't make it to the hosptial.  :biggrin: so, I think that's where my love of the snow comes from!

And yes, Florida is awfully skinny...there aren't too many states that you can cross in 2 hours. ;D

Yeah, but try to drive from Pensacola, or even Jacksonville to Key West and you'll be singing a different tune.

I'm with ya, sister! Where are you located in the great US?

I simply CAN'T wait to watch my girls play in the snow & make that snowman with them. Pictures WILL be posted, Tallulah!

And yes, husband is already pricing snowblowers! :biggrin:

It'll be so wonderful to go home...it feels like I've been on a REALLY long, extended vacation.  You now how wonderful it is the first few days when you go to an exotic location...the smells are crisp, the room is inviting, the new corners to explore...but, after about the 3rd day you start to yearn your own bed, the towels dont' quite feel as soft, and you can't find a restaurant that quite compares to your favorite back home? And by the last day of vacation, you RUN to the airplane, train, bus, or car?

Well, that's what I have experienced...and it will be great to land. :smile:

I'm in Mississippi.  Land of the last, land of the lost........... :rolleyes:  We have a total of 3 months of what you would call "cool" weather but we never pack away the shorts or sandals because you never know when it's gonna hit 90!  I remember one year my jack-o-lanterns rotted in a day because it was so hot.
So now you know why I'm jealous--I'm over the heat!!  Can't wait for the pix!
If you don't have anything nice to say then come over here and sit by me!

Dammit Sunny, I should be angry with you.

Look what you've made me do:

One that needs a lot of landscaping work, but is the same as what we are paying for our house:



And my favorite, that has me seriously thinking:




House two sits on 2.5 acres, 2700 square feet, a screened in porch facing those trees (far left, lower than rest of house)...This is perfect, and its only just under $5000 more than what I'm paying for mine.
If you don't like what you're doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove.
