Florida resident

Posted 05-23-2023 at 11:00 AM by onebuck

Hi,

I've been a Florida resident since 10-16-2021 and don't regret leaving Illinois.
I do miss my friends back in Illinois but they know they are welcome here anytime.

I sold my property in Illinois back in Sept/22 and don't regret that either since the taxes were killing me. Plus I do not have to worry about snow here, just hurricanes in the summertime. As a senior here I have a lot of benefits and the tax savings are great. Plus I can play Golf anytime I want, that...

Ian did a lot of damage to Florida!

Posted 10-10-2022 at 12:34 PM by onebuck

Hi,

Florida was hit hard by Ian! We had major damage in our park. It was sporadic, as if it was from a spawned tornado(s). I lost some of my shingles and a lot of lifting and splits. I'm going to have asphalt replacement. I checked out metal roofing and it was cost prohibitive. Way to much money that I would not live long enough to justify cost difference between asphalt & metal. It's taken my Insurance adjuster a long period before contacting me. He'll be here late afternoon....

Florida is great place to live!

Hi,

I am starting to get settled in Florida, even though we have had this house for 7 years now. I'm doing some updates that Anne had planned to do while I was away for the Illinois house face time plan. When we purchased this home, I had agreed she could do as she pleased here. She would do it any way. It's been that way since we've been together. She was a planner and decorator with great taste. I was always happy with her planning and taste. She married me!

My daughter...

My Lose!

Posted 06-14-2022 at 08:52 PM by onebuck

Hi,

I have not been active here at LQ lately. I lost my wife on 05-04-2022 and it's been tough to get through this. When you loose a life mate it is very difficult. Fortunately my family has been here to help me. I'm just getting where I can make it through the day without breaking down. With my health issues, I always thought I would be the one to go first but Anne masked her issues. But, one never knows! My loss is very deep and thankfully my support has been there to help through...

Winters here in Florida

Posted 01-16-2022 at 10:27 AM by onebuck

Hi,

Sorry for not updating until now. Been busy!

I have been here in Florida since the middle of October/21. Great weather and Golf at many courses. My game has suffered some since I've been back. Mostly injury related from maintenance on our home. I'm getting older and cannot do the things of past. I had to work on a plumbing issue that required cleaning of the drain. Turns out that a strap broke dropping the main line about 12 inches. Water doesn't run up hill very well....
