Following my retirement in 2009, Paula and I visited my oldest daughter in Charlotte NC during the summer and decided if we were ever going to make a move, there was no time like the present. So Paula found an ER nursing position at a new facility in south Charlotte and we found a community we liked just south of the border in Fort Mill, South Carolina. We moved into our new house in January, got the girls settled into their new schools and began to settle into southern living. But we've learned that many in the south have come here from elsewhere, many from New York, Michigan and Ohio. We are enjoying being closer to Paula's family and my oldest daughter and her family in Charlotte.
