2025 Last year Marianne and I moved into a "Senior Living Facility - with Independent Living". We absolutely LOVE it! Most Seniors don't know about this - if you don't, you need to check it out.

2026 (February) We still live in the "Senior Living Facility" and still love it. Last year I started struggling health-wise and I am still struggling. As I know you all know by now, this getting old stuff isn't all fun. I wish you all the very best.
