My daughter is constantly asking me to move down to Texas to be near her and her kids, especially now that my husband died this past Jan. I thought about it and then told her no. I've been to visit down there many times and I can not stand the heat and humidity of East Texas. I live on the Atlantic here in Massachusetts and it can be too hot and humid in the summer. WHY would I go from fry pan into the fire? I also can't stand the bugs, snakes, alligators. Nope, I may hate to shovel snow but at least I don't hate to see the sun come up in the summer time.
I'm also selling my house here on the beach to move back to the house hubby and I bought when we were first married. He had no life insurance so I can't afford the taxes on both places anymore and there is no end in sight here in this area.
IF I ever moved south, it would probably be to Florida. Nice and flat for bike riding!

. We have lots of gators here - but in Texas? Robyn
Don't forget that they do things big in Texas; that includes the gators.
