My wife & I,are now officially "Snowbirds".I am 61 & my wife is 61 1/2.I am,
physically,probably,in better shape than most people 2/3 my age.I work-out
everyday,but I have Diabetes,Diabetic neuropothy,Ulcerative Colitus,& assorted other things.Plus I am a recovering Alcoholic(12yrs10mo-tomorrow)
I was thinking recently,that our place in NH takes alot of labor.No problem
now,but that could change anyday!I have over an acre of land,that is no
problem,in the summer.The winter & snow are getting to be a pain.We bought a place,in West Melbuorne Fla.We will spend a couple of months,there in the winter & the rest of the time here,in the other months.It will be hard financially but it's better than waiting until we have to.I just thought that I
would let everyone know.My wife & I will be married for 40yrs on May 1.This is
our anniversary present to each other! Irish
