I went to sign in and could not find the main page for Well Being 60+...My first thought why did they remove it and keep all the other ages on...Well as I read from the beginning there you all were...just got moved to the top of the list.

Been very busy,,,very busy,,,Lets see if I can start somewhere in all of this and not get you lost.

Some of you may not know but dh is legally blind...this all started about 7 years ago..so now for what is happening in my life. We live in a condo..up and down...the stairs really scare dh mainly at night when you wake up and have to head to the bathroom..that room is located at the top of the stairs..there is always the fear of falling in the middle of the night. There have been other things that have happened in this condo community that I just do not like at all. My youngest daughter brought a house..she owns a two family...as dh will be all on one floor we sold your condo last night, and will be moving to a different town...feel out the market and buy something later in the year. Talk about cleaning, throwing out, giving to GoodWill and saying to the kids want this I got the place ready for show. My next door neighbor is a realor so I asked if she wanted the business and she did us good as I had the only condo in the town for sale. Everything is going well and we will be closing the end of July. I will not miss this place at all with all the stuff that has happened to dh and I in here over the 15 years we have lived here but that is another chapter..

We will be living in a town right near my daughter and son. Dh will be able to have some company during the day and it will be easier for my daughter to take him to the Drs. as she is the one who does all the appointments for me.

This is why I have not been among the missing. I have been b u s y..

HUGS to all

Jackie

Good to see you Jackie.

Glad you weren't missing forever. I think that your decision to sell your condo was a good one. I think you all will be very happy to be closer to family. It all sounds so much better for your DH too.

Now you check in with us and tell us how it is all going with the move. Hope you find something you really like real soon..

Becky

Jackie, glad you didn't give up attempting to find this site...they don't make it easy. I, too, wondered why we haven't heard from you lately, but with all you had going I'm surprised you found the time to touch base now! Your move sounds like the thing to do & that it'll be more convenient for all concerned. Sending good thoughts your way. Keep in touch! Cal

My goodness you sure have been busy. God Bless. One of my biggest fears in life has been losing sight.My prayers to you all.So good to be where it will be easier for you all.Feels good to get rid of a lot of things too.Be careful-ten years ago I did that with our move to Fl. The place is full already and I need a good sweep.

Do you work full time yet?I'm happy for you that family is close. Keep us posted in all that spare time--martha

Moving to a place that is all on one floor should be a blessing to your DH. My DD went blind, but he did have a chance to see the new house. We moved both of my parents so that they would be closer to us. By-the-way, do you get the 'talking books' for your DH? We got them for Daddy through the local library. It's a free program of the Federal Gov. They were nice for my Daddy and Momma enjoyed hearing them too. lottie77
