Our kids are being encouraged to settle in a nice warm place for us to follow them to when our obligations in the Great White North are complete--my hubby often curses his ancestors for coming here and saying, "Ach! It's yust like the Olt Country!"
His reply - "The Old Country sucked!!! That's why you left it, remember?"
LOL! I was born in TN, but we moved around and ended up in CT where they had moderate winters. Then I went to school in IN where they had ARCTIC winters and said "the heck with it". Drove South as soon as I got my degree. Got lost when I exited somewhere near Boca and liked it so much I never left. : )
