My father once explained why it was that he stayed in Minnesota after achieving his retirement, rather than move to a warmer, less tax-imposing place like the Carolina's or Arizona. He explained that it all looks good when you tour those places, especially in the middle of winter, but he realized that friends and family are not there. It's the friends and family that make a home town, not the atmosphere or economic impact.
That made a lot of sense to me, and makes even more sense now with the homecoming of child three and child one. Anne and husband Jonathan returned from Florida to start their own family here, expecting their first child in April. In about a 30 day period (it seemed), they found new jobs, quit their old jobs, packed up their home, bought a new home thirty minutes from here, and and got pregnant. Now THAT's efficiency.
Just last week, Eric joined in the migration. He landed a job at the station he left two and a half years ago to go to Austin, Texas. Hired back as the Executive Producer of the morning news shows at Fox 9 in the Twin Cities, he packed all his things in a Penske truck, just like Anne, and hiked back to Afton. But he returned with something new, something different, that wasn't part of his life until then.
Take a look at a true homecoming for Eric and Fiona:
