I hear that from a lot of people that live in the nice climates all or most of their life. And our friends who move to fair weather states when they retire, or get a job in a state that does not have snow and ice! Yes, it would be nice to live where the weather in nice almost all year. You just have to put up with storms, tornadoes, and earthquakes. The worst part of leaving our state would be leaving the kids and grandkids. We would miss not seeing them so much.
I grew up living beside my mom's parents, and my dad's family was close too. And you get used to being around family, at least we do. Mary and I talked about moving several times, but we always came back to the same argument. We did not want to leave family!

So much for us being nuts. Even my youngest boy and his life partner decided to move back from North Carolina to go to seminary in Lancaster, not go to California. They miss family, and want to be close to loved ones. The other two kids and their families live within 15 miles of us. We were just with my daughter's family tonight. The oldest granddaughter turns 14 tomorrow and we took them to Pizza Hut for supper. She picked the place because it was her celebration.
The three year old grandson was in rare form. He yelled and screamed, so my daughter took him out to the car when the pizza came. I ate one slice of pizza and went out to the car to stay with him so my daughter could be with the party. Don't tell anyone I am really a softee when it comes to my family. We spoil all of them rotten! I said before, family is the most important thing to myself and Mary.

Yes, we people who live in the states with snow and ice have hardships. Even in the fair weather states people go through trying times. Remember the sign I saw outside a church recently: If GOD brings you to it, HE will bring you through it!!!!
I believe that with all my heart. He has brought me thru a lot in these 65 years I have been stumbling over this earth. I know my keen sense of saving my behind has not been my actions as much as HIS. Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope I have enlightened your outlook on life. I know writing it has helped mine!
