I love Jeremiah's post. I do miss the italian food. I do miss family and friends, but most of what I miss are not even in CT. I miss Quabbin, Champlain, Maine, and Fenway! Now living in Grenville, SC at the base of the Blue Ridge. Moved here last May and even though I have spent since July fighting esophageal cancer, I see how much better it is for us here than in CT. The medical care here has been phenomenal. The doctors, nurses, facilities, and everyone connected with the care have been tremendous. Neighbors and new friends have been so kind and helpful. I am now doing well and hoping to be near my new "normal" this spring so I can get out and explore all the fantastic fishing opportunities in this area. Greenville is a beautiful town and is on the rise. Much more affordable here than CT - great place to retire. Just what we save on property tax alone will buy me a nice boat. Can't wait to get on the Broad River and bang some big smallies!
