When we got to our nineties, we realized that we needed a little more help, but to make the change, we had to find a retirement home, move, have an estate sale, sell our house and my car. By luck, hard work and lots of help, we did all of this in one month's time.
We have three rooms and a kitchen in our cottage, and by taking two sofa beds, and furniture with drawers and shelves, we were able to take the things we thought we needed, and have places for at least four overnight guests. No small accomplishment!!!! I'll admit that we forgot some important things: my own favorite oil painting, and a can opener, to name a couple. We also had to buy four small chest pieces so that we could have more drawer space. We were all in, with a place for everything we brought,and all our pictures and favorite art work up within a week.
Since being here, we have entertained overnight guests twice for a total of seven nights, had members of two of my clubs for their monthly meeting, and many drop-ins. From now on, I shall try to tell about life in our new circumstances.

ReplyDeleteDon't have a Google account? Well, maybe you do, if you have been using gmail, or Picasa, or a Droid phone. Otherwise it must be easy to set one up, but I can't help with that.
