You've already gotten a lot of advice so I will try to be short and sweet. We lived in FL for a very short time but it is too hot for too long with the threat of too many hurricanes and too expensive insurance for house and cars for us. However, I think if I were to move back (not that that is going to happen), I would look into Mt. Dora. It was such a cute town and there was a lovely lake (I think it was a lake?) there. I visited a quilt shop but I am not sure it is still there. If you look into Ocala you will find that it is beautiful horse country and has Silver Springs (is that the right name?) where the glass bottom boats are. You can buy a pass for the season and see great concerts, use the water park, and see the other goings on. So, good luck with your health issue and hope you find just the right place for your comfort and fabric buying.
