...it's a toss up. Since we are both in pretty good shape for our ages, I am also less inclined to make a move.

I would miss the town where we now live. Our condo is walkable to the downtown area where there are many great restaurants. Also this condo is almost like a house since it has windows on all four sides plus a small deck which accommodates many of my plants and we use often [my partner is out there reading now in this 94 degree heat!], and we also have a two car garage and a gas burning fire place which I use often in the winter.

You're helping me talk myself into staying where I am!
