It's hard for me to accept the fact that I'm fortunate enough to live in one of the best spots in our country.
People love to come here during the winter months just to keep warm.
Is this a good thing?? It all depends on what side of the counter you're on.
When we had a business, I would have welcomed them with open arms...maybe ran outside to lure them in.
Now that I'm a customer, it's a whole different situation. I like when they're gone. I like when the roads are empty. I love going to a restaurant and not waiting in line...prices on everything automatically goes up in the winter.
I guess it's called 'supply and demand'.
Am I being selfish? Do I want the sun all to myself? Do I, as the Jefferson's on TV used to say...or do I just want my piece of the pie.
Bottom line is...I wait till Easter and Passover...and then as if by magic...they've flown the coup.
Is this a narrow way of thinking? Yes, definitely, but I get my old Florida back.

Piecee of the pie ... wasn't that "Good Times"?
You're right Hilda - it was the Jeffersons. However, all those shows were connected so it can be confusing.
Jeffersons was a spin off of All in the Family. While good times was a spin off of Maude which was a spin off of All in the Family.
Another piece of useless trivia from Donna :-)
Part II of the comment.
I know you like it better with the snow birds are up North but I also know you accept them being there in the winter and don't get too bent out of shape.
You do as the serentity prayer advises - accept the things you can't change. But there is no harm in knowing you like it better when you have your 'empty' Florida.
