Your Winter Vibe

Is there someone between Elsa and Lucky? I melt at 80 degrees and freeze below 40 degrees. Give me 65 degrees and sunshine and I am a happy camper.

Lucky for sure. I’ve had enough cold winters in my lifetime. Maybe we’ll move somewhere warmer once we retire.

I've become obsessed with watching Tiny Homes videos. They aren't like the ones that first came out a decade ago where people were trying to squeeze themselves into a place the size of a backyard tool shed. They've come a long way. They are now really nice homes about the size of my apartment now. Yet, they have an area for a yard and some beautiful, enclosed patio areas which double their living space. During beautiful weather, I'd be spending all my retirement on the patio.

However, there are only a few Tiny Home residential parks around the U.S. as the regulations and zoning requirements are so strict. They aren't allowed in most places as a form of permanent residence.

There are a few, really nice Tiny Home communities up in Oregon where they are allowed. But, thinking about the winters up there, I think, "Nope! Can't do it." And up in Canada, there are more places that allow them. But, that's even further north and colder. So, a bigger No!

It never really bothered me. But currently I need to be outdoors for 1-2 hours twice a day, and the below normal cold weather requires a bundling up routine that is starting to get tiresome!

Moved from the cold of PA to central Florida ~20 years ago and never looked back. These past few days were just reminders how much I despise anything below 60 degrees.
