Yes. South Georgia is a big difference. It's the Old South: manners, proper decorum, decency, dress and looks, and the best Soul Food anywhere.
We will not move back, although we would like to. My husband has heart disease, has had an eye stroke, and has periodic battles with skin cancer, so with my Diabetes and other minor problems, we are not able. I am 74 and he is 77. We have one son who still lives in S GA, but he has his own demons. We see him once a year, maybe. There is no more family--just the three of us. Our retirement was spent on our son's problems for over 20 years, so we'd have to inherit the money or win the lottery to be able to get out of NW GA, which is a sad place.
We try to remain positive and my husband's doctors are in TN. They are great! We would hate to leave them. It is a long story, but I think you understand why we are still in an unhappy place.
I know New England is a wonderful area. We visited Rhode Island when we were first married. It was a beautiful area.
The conference today was so uplifting and encouraging. I enjoyed meeting everyone.
Have a good evening.
