I live in Florida, but I would gladly trade all this 'sunshine' for a little snow if I could be close enough to tramp through all those cemeteries in the tri-state area. While everyone is retiring to Florida my hubby and I plan on retiring to northeaster PA. BTW Susan, our son lives in West Allis. He and his family left here day before yesterday to go back home. Talk about a contrast!
