Thanks! I could almost feel the warm sunshine just looking at those!

I personally don't like going someplace warm during the winter...it just makes things 10x colder when you return

I lived in FL all of my life and I can definitely say, it's a nice place to live as long as there isn't a hurricane knocking on your door and you have a riding lawn mower.

Susie, your pictures are beautiful, it looks like the perfect prescription for the the winter blahs. It's amazing how much color and sun can make change your outlook.
Our son and DIL live in Venice and are expecting our first grandchild. At my work they are placing bets on how long it takes us to sell our house and move down there after the baby comes. DH would move there in a heart beat, I think I need to suffer some more first. We'll see.

I can't wait to move back to FL~

Beautiful pictures! Gary the Gecko looks like a frog to me, though. *giggles* I haven't seen any geckos down there, so...Maybe I just have frogs on the brain! And that fridge is gorgeous!

A good friend of mine, Kenny, his parents have a home there.

I have been to Anna Marie Isle a lot when I was staying down in Bradenton for a little while years ago.
Is "Fast Eddie's" still there?
Their logo was "warm beer & cold food"
but it was always busy!
Great Food!

It is BEAUTIFUL there!!

Wish I was there, we are expecting snow tonight.

And the hurricanes aren't fun either.
I hear ya!
I live on the east side of the state & even though the weather has been gorgeous here lately I could really go for some snow!
The summers are brutal here & they seem to last forever...come October I am all but going insane for the want of some cool air coming down from the north. The first cold front of the year is always such a welcome relief.
I'm originally from around Pittsburgh & miss the seasons & would seriously consider moving back if I knew I had a good job.
Stay in Ohio, it's beautiful there.

Your right, Ohio is beauiful, but I sure could be a snowbird and live in Florida during the winter months!

I love florida, my family owns a vacation home in Fort Myers, Florida. I've considered moving there, but the heat in the summer time is unbearable.

I can totally relate. My first trip to Florida, it was -5 degrees when I left Ohio (where we were living at the time). I got the car to the airport and sort of into a space, where it died. Got off the plane in Florida and said, I'm never leaving this place!

Than Susie you need to become a snowbird! We have lots of snowbirds down here during the winter than they pack up the RV and go home for the summer.
