Gary, I shop in Fairfax, which is about 60-70 miles from where I live.
I'm a country gal. I've traveled the world, but never been to
Florida, with exception of the Miami airport. Yep, no Disneyland!
Though, most Virginians can't wait to move to Florida. I moved away
from the area when I became an adult to the west coast, but late in
life "came home again" to Virginia.

Frankly, I don't know what I'm doing here when the snow flies. But,
Virginia works for me. All that Florida good weather is sort of
frightening. :-)))
