I can't even safely pick up trash in front of my house because there is NO shoulder (on a very busy road). I've had to jump in the ditch to avoid being hit almost every time I've tried to pick up litter.<br /><br />I'm like you, Sharon...I never, ever get bored. I even hate to hear people say they're bored. When my children were young, they learned to NEVER say they were bored, because I'd always find SOMETHING for them to do, heh heh. Like vacuuming or sweeping or dusting... :-) Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575140898505901920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-58976464146882896702013-01-23T21:55:19.435-05:002013-01-23T21:55:19.435-05:00Looks like a great spot for some R &R.

We have only traveled to Florida one time to visit Tom's sister and her husband in Fort Meyers Beach. We had a lovely time but is was rather humid for us as we are use to a dryer climate. We were never board - so many beaches and fun things to see and do. <br /><br />Enjoy your hubby time!

What if your car breaks down? Glad you're someplace where there is lots of opportunities to walk.

THAT is a true vacation.. So many times, we are moving from place to place to place taking in all that we can in a short period of time.. When we go to Mt. Nebo (Arkansas) ---we can relax in our little cabin and just enjoy the area (wildlife, sunsets/sunrises, hiking, etc.) That's our REAL vacation --plus our May trip to the beach. <br /><br />That planned community sounds great... Looks like a great place to retire and stay safe.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-20139002800743602662013-01-18T12:23:56.820-05:002013-01-18T12:23:56.820-05:00It looks so lovely and warm!It looks so lovely and warm!Kyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496930376646300796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-84590880181449715122013-01-18T11:01:17.188-05:002013-01-18T11:01:17.188-05:00I thought about you this morning when I read that ...I thought about you this morning when I read that an alligator can only run about 10-11 mph.

It is definitely something I do not understand here. I get the terrain is challenging, but if you are building up a road anyway, put in the extra funding and build a sidewalk (and a freakin' shoulder...what is wrong with this state?!!)<br /><br />Anywho...the next time we move, pedestrian friendly is right at the top of my list with affordability, distance to mountains and state parks/national parks ;) (But no worries...it will be many years before we move...or so we hope).Rebecca McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09431402590307468656noreply@blogger.com
