[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your parents should rent a six month furnished house over the winter in your city. If they like the experience they should sell their house and buy an equally large one in your city. That way they don't need to get rid of any of their stuff.[/quote] This is the best suggestion, OP. Bring it up now, during the middle of their cold northern winter when they may be experiencing cabin fever. Ask them if they would be interested in spending a few months in a furnished rental closer to you. Sell it up - tell them about the activities, time with you, grandkids, etc. they could be enjoying if they did so. Tell them they don't have to do a thing with their own house, just lock it down and arrange for a house-watcher to come with regularity so they don't have to worry about it. Set up cameras (if they don't have them already) if it would give them a piece of mind. [/quote]
