Help me find the perfect front porch to rock myself into retirement. I’m turning 60 real soon and I think it time to get serious about where I want to retire.

Most people might think that is an easy question but I lived some great places and know that in our beautiful country we have so many great choices.

So, here is my challenge. I want to find the best home to live my retirement. I have only one item that is an absolute. The home must have a front porch with room for a few rockers and a spot for my hound.

Don’t think for a second that I am putting my dog before my wife. One of the rockers will be for her but since she is younger, she’ll have to work a bit after I retire.

It seems fair to me that if I started work first I should get to retire first. Right? Maybe?

It would be great to hear from people all over the country. Send some pics and just tell me why you think I would love your home. Hopefully, a lot of people will read the posts and you will get some exposure as well as have some fun.

Again, I am approaching this with an open mind – some might say an empty mind. The home can be in a big city, little city or no city. It can be on top of a mountain or sitting in the dessert.

Don’t worry about what I like. I want to know what you think is great. This way I can take advantage of a lot of sharper minds than mine.

I’ll be honest. I have a budget but so what. I’ll just dream about the one’s I can’t afford. At 60 one thing I have learned, never be afraid to dream, and never let anyone steal your dreams.

Please pass this blog around and let’s find some great front porches together.
