Well, as some of you already know Danny and I have left his beloved mountains of NC and moved to my beloved flatlands of Florida. It was necessary for more than one reason. I lost my job back in Dec 2009 and Danny lost his in Dec 2010. Prospects had not looked good for me at all and were looking even worse for Danny. Then we got letters from the ESC of NC that stated since the unemployment rate had decreased (about 1/2 of a percent) in NC, that the Federal Gov't would not longer support the extended benefits program. I was on extended and Danny would have needed it about 6 weeks later. So seeing that we were running out of time, we had to make a life changing decision. An opportunity opened up in Inglis, FL and we applied.
So here we are back in Florida, closer to my family but further from his. It's always hard being away from the people you love, especially when, now it includes your own children and grand-children. But we are adults, and we will survive. It is also great for my asthma. I have been doing a lot better since we got here. And we are both gainfully employed ( thank you Lord).
There is a small problem with my blog though. The name says "Hodges on the Hill". Well, we're not on the hill anymore, so I guess next time you see this blog, I will be changing the name. I could use a little help though. I have thought about, "Hodges in the Flats" or Hodges on the River ( Withlacoochee River across the road). Or something like that. I just don't know, so I'm open for suggestions.
It's good to be back, I'm loving it here. It's quiet, peaceful and the work is not that hard.

I think you should keep it the same. That hill is your home place. When I think of my Hodge family I think of that hill. It just feels right.
