I didn't move. They did. And I can't really blame them in their old age for wanting a little sunny southern warmth on their cold northern bones. And it was so much more environmentaly friendly for them to move than for them to stay put and run the furnace through the cold wet local winters.
Good move on their part to escape the winter cold up here in the North. Hopefully they also saved a bit in taxes (which really would have driven the lieberals nuts).
