For the last many years, every one of us had been talking about moving. Neither our spouse nor I enjoyed living in the south. The people I was with and I stayed here for our tasks & that was it. When it came time to retire, unlike most retirees, every one of us wanted to transfer up north where every one of us were raised. The heat & humidity had always been the bane of our existence here. I hated needing a dehumidifier & to have air conditioning running all the time. There wasn’t any comfort unless you had the A/C running. Even with the A/C & dehumidifier running, it still seemed to be too chilly & damp in the house. When I retired, our spouse put in his notice & told myself and others to start packing. He was going to still be toiling for the same supplier, however he asked to be transferred to 1 of their locations which was further north. The people I was with and I ended up in the northernmost section of the Eastern US. Air conditioning wasn’t needed even on the warmest of summer time days. The people I was with and I had a heating method to keep us warm & cozy in the winter. Occasionally every one of us could see moose in our backyard & every one of us were close enough to the ocean to do some deep sea fishing. The people I was with and I finally found the perfect place to live. Most retirees may want to transfer south so they could have the heat all year round. I found the heat oppressive, & it was difficult to breathe during the summer. Summer here is cool & comfortable. Winters can be chilly & brutal, but every one of us have an excellent heating method & a fireplace. The people I was with and I also have each other to keep us warm.
