It's year three for us full-timing and the grandkids issue was rough at first but quite frankly after a full spring/summer/fall of the grandgirls Frau Blücher now kinda' looks forward to the break that six months in Florida gives. With today's internet and Skype and magic jack family is only a call away and they come down to visit throught the winter for that "cheap family vacation" so I guess it all evens out in the end.
