Well, hello! Thank you for the nice welcome. Is Georgia really well known for their peaches?

I also left Long Island decades ago and went to Virginia with my husband's job. I was delighted when he got a promotion and we relocated to Rhode Island and then CT. Now I'm in GA, but coping.

I might add that we were not in the beautiful countryside of Virginia but in Norfolk. it seemed that everyone else was Navy and transient. I did make a few good friends though. There are nice people everywhere.

I hear you... I left Long Island, NY over thirty years ago to move to Virginia..I felt the country calling me!

Long Island? I know just why you did it. I have a friend that was raised in NYC. Now lives in Jersey. How in the heck he does it is lost on me.

Same here. When I hit the country there was no looking back. It's been about the same amount of time since I left N. VA. And longer than that since I left MI.
