We have downsized from our large historic stonehouse (hence my screen name) and are considering a move to “the middle of nowhere” once our youngest goes to college this fall. Our oldest and her husband live in rural Otsego County - beautiful but the area is afflicted by severe poverty due (not my daughter and husband personally, she is a nurse and they have an organic milk small diary operation), partially due to the mismanagement of the state by liberals.
We want to move out there at least part time but I am a bit worried about the errands being 30 minutes away, although I am fairly sure that the pros would outweigh the cons. Thoughts?
Our middle two daughters (20 somethings) live in Manhattan, Tribeca and lower Harlem, respectively, quite a contrast!
They have remained politically conservative though and can’t stand Di Blasio and like Trump.

One of the natural consequences of that is, like you wrote, 30 minutes to run errands.
When considering a big move, I have found that you really need to be in touch with your inner feelings- your gut- and respect those thoughts about your decision.
It just takes a bit more organization Plan on doing errands and hitting the stores once a month. Keep good lists. Right now am in line for the new nearest Chick Fil A
finally one on my favorite in my area !
