Yep, it’s that time of life. We’re living on Old Folks Hill. And loving it.
We were just checking out the neighborhood when we came upon this house. It’s gorgeous by our standards. It’s sunny, even in the rain, relatively low-maintenance, close to town, in a safe place for walking, and almost large enough for our books.
My sweetheart is a little young for this age-restricted community, so we had to fess up that she’s my caretaker. Of course, I’m hers too, but not in the way the federal government housing rules require, though recent rulings by the Supremes at least allow us to take care of each other legally.
