Thanks for the good wishes everyone. Those who know me, know we've been looking to move for a while now. Still, it is a daunting task selling a home where we have lived and raised our family for 27 years. We both grew up on LI, and though we have spent winters elsewhere, this is still our familiar home turf.
But a new adventure awaits, and a new phase of our life. Will this be our "retirement home" forever? I doubt it. When the kids marry and we have grandchildren I have no doubt that we will want to be somewhere closer to them, wherever that is. Plus, Florida summers (even though we are in North Florida) are going to be hot, hot, hot, so a summer place somewhere in the mountains or back up north may be a possibility down the road.
Well, back to packing...
