First off I want to admit that Im am One !!
Use to grin at all the old folks who came down here for couple months during the winter and Im gonna apologize to those that are still living when we get back and say a prayer for forgiveness for those that i cant tell them...Been on the tractor moving and feeding cattle for the last month or so in absolutely horrible weather and came down here to play senior softball(My wife and I ) and the weather is fantastic..Smells like spring in the morning,summer about mid day and a hint of Fall about 8 pm..
If you fellows are stuck in the snow get your wife,friend,husband in the vehicle and make a trip south

I used to say I wouldn't live in Florida for nothing......I now have a change of heart. My Wife & I agree that getting out of this Frozen Tundra from January 1st until about May 1st would be a Great Blessing...!!!

We started out last week and weekend playing in Tampa Bay area..A lot of real nice swanky places but our fields were not in on of those areas..You needed to travel with teammates where we were..Luckily it was 180 teams of us ancient ballplayers so you saw uniforms out and about right much


Last couple days took us a little farther south but still on the gulf in what was a very nice destination for young and old..Plenty for my age bracket and enough water and beach if I was 40 years younger

Mr.Bruce..We were in Tampa for our first weekend of playing..Traveled south a bit to rest a bit and regroup and traveling east a bit to finish up in Lakeland..We have played at disney a bunch over the years..They focus more on youth sports now and dont blame them a piece on that..Definitely plenty of fields down here for everyone ..Seen quite a few squirrels also.
Sign says it all but they need to get a add writer
It should read we are the Sunshine Experts..The sun shines brighter here than anywhere in the country and burns 30 minutes longer everyday.
Definitely a nice area!

Not sure about us Virginians invading..We have a family farm around Snow Hill and I make sure I have enough gas money to come back North a few hours..More snakes and biting insects in the summer than I can handle

Just an old Florida fogey checking in. Lived here on the Nature Coast since 2013. Plenty of great weather, big blue skies and enough snow birds in the wintertime to make spring our favorite time of year when they all fly home.

We picked a nice, slow-moving part of the state as our year 'round domicile. We're about 2 miles from the Gulf and I enjoy the kayaking and fishing opportunities that abound all the way up the coast.

I played softball in Michigan for years until the play kept getting faster and the players younger. I figured one of those young bucks would slide into me at second and I'd fly apart like a two-dollar watch.

Florida is hot in the summer but when you boys are shoveling it up North, I'm enjoying shorts, t-shirts and flipflops. I guess it's all about what turns you on.

Definitely alot of older generation here in spots..A long time destination would definitely be some where different than where we have been but I will say the sunshine the last few days has been nice..As far as ball you should continue I. Your age bracket as dint slide much anymore..We do fall down ..I think I could stay in shape down here to at year round ..I do like hunting season while no leaves though
