I loved that climate and miss it. Especially the dry heat part. I live in Florida in retirement now and the heat here combined with the humidity in the summertime, sucks. It is insufferable.

Move back.

But you are right about Florida in the summer.

I've vacationed in Florida in December, January and February, but if you have to go there in the summer the humidity is murder.

I have friends and relatives in Florida, but other than a wedding or funeral, I avoid summer visits.

Too old to move back. Mid70s. This is my end game here on my cattle farm in Florida.

I mow family cemetery here on the farm once a week and will try to have it looking nice when they have my funeral.

After living on a rural farm for ten years, I've been back to Tempe for class reunions several times but it is not the same.

As in most things in life, you can't go back and capture the past because the current version has all changed. Friends have died and gone. My homes are no longer there. The pace of the big city is too fast for me now.

All I can say, is thank God for air conditioning in the summertime in Florida.
