Everyone has been so friendly on the forum yet KathyH. posted a reply to Maggie which portrayed a negative image of the community. Even though Maggie is moving in a week or so, Kathy basically told Maggie that her son would have a terrible time in school for being white and that she should re-think about coming. This posting unsettled me as we are definitely moving in September. I have worked hard my whole life and want to live the second part iof my life in an area I find absolutely beautiful plus help out with the nursing shortage. Can I get some input from others on this issue? I know we had problems when we lived on an isolated Indian Reservation. I tan pretty quickly and Mike has a darker complexion anyway and we don't have young kids. I'm hoping to move into a friendly, fun community where we have steady temperatures and the beautiful ocean to play in year round whenever we want to! I'm hoping that this posting is from an isolated person who experienced some issues and is not a community wide problem. We're just two educated, but laid back older hippies. Well, off to the hot tub with a marguaita in hand! Linda & Mike
