This will be our 13th year leaving the cold behind for the southern sunshine. We move to our son's home in Florida that he and his wife purchased for their retirement while they were honeymooning in Florida. They both still work up north so hubby and I graciously keep the sunshine home going throughout the winter months. This years , things also reversed themselves.they are residing in our home up north while we are tending to things in the south. We started coming from mid-January to March……..the length of time has greatly increased……mid-December until the first of May…..and 2014/15 is starting in late November…...
