I love the winter here in Northern Michigan, even the cold and snow. The air is so clean and fresh. I would, though, like to spend October, November around Birmingham, Al where one of my sons lives. We were there twice during that time of the year and loved it. Hubby isn't going to retire til he's 70. I'm going to join the senior center. My husband asked why would i want to hang out with old people. I just retired and was one of the oldest nurses there and couldn't relate to the people they admired or the movies, tv shows they thought were great. Most sat around the lunch table looking at their smart phones. (I'm too cheap and have a dumb phone though I love my Ipad).
