Welcome from Sebring FL. I grew up in Lakeland FL and moved south about 8 years ago. I lived in Tampa from 1987-1992. I've lived in FL almost my entire life and despise the heat; however, my family all lives in Lakeland (except for 1 brother in Loveland CO) and my Mother's 89, so I'm not going anywhere as long as I have her here to enjoy. When my DH and I retire, we hope to do the summer thing up North and winters here in Sebring. You'll love this group; they are the best on the net!
