We've been talking about leaving CA since we were married in 1978, but you know how it goes--you get a decent job, you get married, a house, kids, and suddenly decades have gone by. Two years ago my wife came to Middle Tennessee to visit her best friend who'd moved here and was lonely, and she came back all twitterpated about the area. We had already decided we weren't leaving CA while my mom was still alive. She was our last living parent. Well, she passed in June of '24, so we started getting serious and we moved here in late spring of this year. It's a beautiful area. Of course we are experiencing waves of "What have we done??" Things are very different here, mostly in good ways, but we both grew up in CA, never lived anywhere else. so we expect to question ourselves. Leaving our daughter behind is the hardest part, but she's going on 39 and she's doing fine, so it's good. Anyway, we have friends down in Destin and when we go down to visit them, maybe we'll stop by Dothan and say, "Hey."
