You must share this date for both, and later, you can take your wife out on the town.

Probably, you have already made up your mind. I think 40th marriage anniversary is the most important. You can have only one in lifetime. 15th birthday and Father`s Day happen more often. |

Now I need advice. We are selling our home, and planning on moving a distance away, to warm weather, nice area, and a new area to us. We have visited this area, Pawleys Island, S.C. and love it, and our youngest son lives there now for a few years, and I have two great job offers there, and there is no, to few jobs here for me.
Now is where the problem comes in.
Two of our four children, say if we move we will never see our grandchildren again, even with a low flight cost, and we don't get to see them much now.
And they say, we won't have holidays together any more, even with the fact, that my wife, or youngest son, when he is home, do all the cooking and clean up, when the others eat and leave.
My wife had a fall on the ice, last winter and now thinks it is time for our move, away from ice and snow.
I need your input on this, since the two children are giving us a gult trip, and is this fair.
Some time ago, one of our children wanted to move away, a distance, than it was O.K. for her.
What do you think on this?
Mike

What do you think on this? Mike Pawleys Island is a nice quiet village. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pawleys_Island,_South_Carolina
Although less secluded and more upscale than it was only a decade ago, Pawleys Island still retains a quaintness and a relaxed pace which makes it a rare island along the U.S. east coast. The water temperature is comfortable from May to October, and there is abundant fishing, crabbing, shrimping, and birdwatching most months of the year.I think I would like to retire there one day. ;D ;D ;D ;D Catching crabs is my unfulfilled hobby. As for grandchildren, if you don`t see them too often now, so you won`t regret not seeing them in the future...... But, after you have settled there, your children would be really stupid not to visit you during summer months, taking their kids so that they could have fun in the sea etc. One more thing: you will leave ice and snow behind, but hurricanes might be a new nuisance.
Serious hurricanes have struck in 1724, twice in 1752, 1822, 1911, 1954, and 1989.Town Hall  |

I plan to retire to Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. They elected a dog as mayor of the town and I like that area anyways. You can learn more here: www.rabbithashusa.com/ |

I don't want to ever retire, I just have had it with snow and ice. And no work in my area now, but there is there.

Uncltim,
I think you are just a bit younger than I am, and you don't want to ever retire. I know, I tried it a few times, and it drives me nuts.
I need be out working the streets, and I am happy. I love my work.

What do you think on this? Mike Mike, I think that now is the time for you and your wife to do what you want to do...You have raised your family the best you could, and hopefully you have raised them to be responsible adults, take care of themselves and their families, and also to honor their parents as they age. It is now the responsibility of your children to visit YOU, so go ahead and do what you want for your happiness and well being and don't let them lay a guilt trip on you. Besides, if they refuse to visit you, you can always make the trip to them during the warm weather months to see the grandchildren. |
