CCRC Life Begins
Here we are a month later, moved in to Apt. 511 in the St. Charles at the large Charlestown Retirement Community. All in all, the packing and move went as arranged. Thank heaven, my cleaning lady for the past 6 years opened a thrift store on May 1. She took the furniture and other “stuff”…

House Under Contract
What a relief! We have a contract on our house. No more “show ready” clean up when we leave the house. No more open houses. Now the real work begins. Packing. We have some downsizing to do. Moving from 2000 square feet to 1298 square feet will require some adjustments. The hardest thing to give…

House Show Ready Stress
Our casual lifestyle has required some adjustment now that our house is for sale. We have to be “show ready” every day. That means items have to be returned to their “home,” the bed has to be made perfectly, the kitchen counter has to be clear, the pillows on the couch straightened, stray coffee cups…

Day Trip to Atlanta
We took our first trip with the Middle Georgia Memory Makers on April 9. Since my birthday has been 3 days before, Dan thought it would be a nice birthday trip. The ride to Atlanta went fast when all I had to do was read or nap. We left Warner Robins at 8 a.m and…
