I recomend Dyersburg, TN or Little Rock, AR.
GOD willing I’ll be back home in rural Tennessee in the not too distant future.
Here is a challenge for all of you...
What location would you recommend for an elderly widow? I have children, but they are spread out all over, and are too busy with their own lives to even remember to call. I do not want to be a whiny old woman, so I let it be.
Presently, I am in Minnesota, because I have a son here, but he has a very demanding job in a tough economy, and I haven’t seen him since the obligatory visit at Christmas. He cares, but his life is too complicated at the present.
I would really like Arkansas - cost of living seems low, which is good for those of us living on very limited incomes, and the climate must be better than Minnesota!
But, I would be alone and without a support system in an emergency.
Should I stay in the frozen north, or take my chances at finding a hospitable community in a state with better weather at this stage of my life?
