- Where Have I Been? Chatty Video About My HEALTH, AGING PARENTS & PROGRESS ON MY HOUSE!
I have had lots going on in my life recently and I’ve been taking a break from CZcams. In this video I share details of where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing. I also share my recent remodeling progress on our new home.
If you have any tips you’d like to share, especially about remodeling or dealing with aging parents, I hope you will share your information in the comments section below the video. That way we can help each other!

I am 63 years old and have been taking caring of my 87-year-old mother for two years now. She has glaucoma and can't see very well. I am also a business broker and don't see retirement in my near future. My situation does not give me much time for myself. However, I do take time out to go for walks and sing, which is my stress outlet. I also have spinal stenosis and have chronic back pain. As much as I love my mother, it can be very taxing on me, as there are days when it's difficult for me to even take care of myself. The best advice I can give those who take care of their aging parents is to try to find some time for yourself.
I retired 10 years ago this month and can’t say I ever missed working at my profession. Unfortunately my husband died unexpectedly the year after I retired and if I can give anyone a piece advice, if you’re thinking about retiring, just do it! One never knows what’s around the corner, be it a stroke or loss of a loved one.
Amen!
Sorry for your loss … thx for advice
Thank you, 2CorgiMom, I needed to read this. God bless you!
So very sorry for your loss. Thank you for that wise advice
Sorry for your Loss🙏🏻
Wow Beth you are dealing with a bit of stress lately… and after retirement no less. Never mind the negative comments about the house. It’s your sanctuary, so make it a place you love.❤
I'm in my 4th year of retirement and I never looked back. I don't even talk with any former coworkers. They checked up on me after I retired, but once I left, I didn't want to maintain any of those relationships. I wanted a new life. Sounds like your stroke was a blessing in disguise since an aneurysm was discovered that needs repair.
So true! Congrats on your retirement!!
I’m sorry you had to explain your new house purchase and your motives for making it your home. I don’t understand why people, have to tear each other down. I am interested in watching the progress, so keep those updates coming! The basement is beautiful and so conducive for the renovation. You’re right there and can keep good tabs on things. Hang in there and you owe no one an explanation.❤️
@@reesesha2289I agree 💯 percent. None of us owes anyone an explanation for we choose to do in life.
I agree. You owe no one a reason for your decisions. Love watching you remodle your home to make it pleasing to you❤ You are my hero!!
Well, I wouldn't be asking for any explanation or be rude to her. But that's just me. One thing though, when you put your life out there for all to see and hear, unfortunately, you are going to have to deal with 👺s and people giving you their opinions. And sometimes, they aren't exactly nice and/or nonjudgmental.
TOTALLY agree! They don't owe anyone an explanation for why they are doing what makes THEM happy!!!
I agree completely!
Your stroke was literally a blessing to save you from a brain bleed. I totally understand why everyone is wanting you to do plant based, but don’t forget all you learned about carnivore. Please read Toxic Superfoods by Sally K. Norton. A lot iof “healthy” plants are not our friend. Just find your happy medium, but animal fat is so important to our bodies. I’m 71 and struggled with IBS-D for years. I actually think I started researching carnivore after watching your story about your gut problems. Anyway, I’ve done low-fat for so many years and I think it’s the root of a lot of our problems. I tried vegetarian, juicing, every diet out there and things just got worse. Finally feel like my gut is healing with my “carnivorish” diet. I know sugar and carbs are my issue, but after I watched Sally Norton interviews on several of the Carnivores docs on CZcams, I ordered the book and realized some of my gut issues might be oxalates. Also watch Fat Fiction movie. Really alarming.
I’m so excited to see your house renovation. I also prefer white woodwork. But I do live warm wood floors, so that about killed me when you said you weren’t keeping those.😜
Your view is beautiful.
I have lived through one remodel and no fun, but of course worth it. Last fall we remodeled my mom’s little house. She passed away 3 years ago. I didn’t like the contractor much and getting him to finish up the details was a nightmare.
I also understand missing people when you retire. I retired at 53 and had all these plans, my house would stay perfectly organized and clean, I would workout daily and cook healthy foods. I would get to read as many books as I want….it is nice to stay up late and sleep late, but I missed being around people and having that purpose. You’re still young. Work as much as you want.
I have been caring for my elderly parents for many years. It's a honor but exhausting and overwhelming. Wishing your parents the best.
Bless your heart. You are a kind/caring soul. You will be rewarded for the kindness you are showing towards your parents
Doing the same. It is exhausting yet as you say an honor
I love seeing the progress of your house, thanks Beth!
I don’t mind being retired. I worked in insurance. It became a grind sitting all day and even though I was an underwriter they had us processing policies and it was just sitting all day and you were so busy didn’t even have time to talk to anybody. I’m much happier now. I can go out and garden, go to the gym and work out, walk, my dog, meet new friends along the way.
Love seeing what you’re doing to your new home. Who cares what people think just be happy you recovered from your stroke and you’re doing well. All the best. 💕
I have been retired since 2016. I'm somewhat an introvert so not dealing with people is great for me. My husband retired at the same time. We moved from California to Oregon and, like you, actually bought a larger home, my dream house, surrounded by trees and wildlife. I couldn't be happier. I keep myself busy doing all the things I couldn't do while working, volunteering with animal shelters, crafting, reading and traveling. It's the best. 😊
Lucky you! I lived in Oregon years ago and had to move back to Calif after 9 years. My daughter moved back, so I get to visit. That’s my fantasy. Moving back and rescuing abused animals. Enjoy!❤
To the two people that want to work with animal rescue - I want to say GOD BLESS YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤
I retired about 7 years ago from a job I loved! I have never been happier! All the things I am able to now on a daily basis makes me wonder how I ever managed everything here and still work a full time job. Retirement rocks!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Beth, it's your home , your money, your life. You dont need to explain to anyone. We love watching the remodeling . You have lovely taste . God bless your home. Ignore the jealous Karen's . 💜
Thank you so much!
We have a new home and it has a two tier counter in the kitchen...I actually like it as it hides the sink area when you are sitting in living room
Hi Beth. I retired from 40 years in a dental office and never looked back! I miss people (coworkers and patients) but not running by the clock all day. I retired in January of 2020 and had a couple of months of freedom before lockdown. After the scare of Covid was calmed, we began to go out more and saw our daughter and her husband a lot. Soon she was pregnant and we were helping get the nursery ready and having a baby shower and that kept us busy. I watched our little grandson for 16 months until they found a daycare (there are shortages of teachers in Maryland where they live). So I’ve had lots of time since September 2023 to do things I wanted to do (travel, activities with friends, etc.). The only time I felt lonely was during lockdown but I think many people did as well. It’s different for everyone to keep busy and be happy in retirement. I didn’t realize I enjoy time alone-I never had it before and it was nice and calming. I have a retired friend who doesn’t like to be alone and she creates a full schedule of activities each day. But she’s happy. It takes time to see how we fit in life when we are not working and our kids are grown. But you will get there. You will be so busy with your house (I think it’s great you moved and don’t worry what others think!) and your parents and mother-in-law (health and moving). Enjoy the journey! 😊
Hi Beth, I moved my Mom into a similar senior living last year. It’s called the Westmont. Right around the corner from me. She is 91. She’s happy and thriving. Good luck with your parents. It’s an interesting time in our lives. Can’t wait to see more of your remodel.💛
I retired and I’ve never missed it. I took on hobbies and interests that I didn’t have time for when I was working. Love it!
That house is going to be a beautiful showstopper- I can’t wait to see the progress. I’m glad your parents will be so close to you- praying for your health and your surgeries 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
God bless you. I had a brain hemorrhage/aneurisma when I was 15 years oldand suffered total paralysis. It has impacted my entire life. Plus, I took care of my dad l, at home, for 12 years. In the end, he had pancreatic cancer. You are so fortunate to have your husband to lean on. I was alone. I am so grateful for everything in my life. No matter how bad things may seem, it can always be worse. Enjoy your new home. Hang in there with all the challenges of your remodel. Plus, the frustrations in moving your parents into their assisted living facility.
Your home is making progress. So fun to see. I am in my second year of retirement. I will say the first year did seem strange to not have a routine, but now I am loving it. Thankful that I have good health to enjoy it!
You are so blessed to have your parents and MIL so close by, they look so sweet. 🌸 you have made incredible progress with the house, can’t wait to see it done. Your temporary living space is awesome.
What a beautiful home, can’t wait to see the final showing. I loved the wood floors that you took out. I’m glad to see that you’re doing good and will keep you in my prayers as you go through your next surgeries. ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow Thats basement is EVERYTHING. Absolutely love it . 😍
Hi Beth! I’m also a Kansan! I grew up in Lawrence, went to KU, married and lived in Wellington, Ks for 14 years. My married son lives in Wichita, and I moved to Overland Park 22 years ago. My married daughter and her family also lives here.
I’m in Wichita fairly often, and have seen some of the lovely home areas with the small lakes- so pretty and relaxing!
I’m a decorator and designer, and still working part time, because, like you, I love it and it fulfills me.
I love the vision you have for your new home, and I applaud you for taking on this project!! My own grandmother built a new home at age 75!!
If it might work for you, maybe we could meet for coffee sometime when I’m in Wichita. My son lives on the west side, and he and his wife are remodeling a home they bought a year ago. So much work, right??
Take good care!
Yes, remodeling is awful but what a blessing that you have that wonderful basement to live in so that you can be on site & not having to run back & forth ! (Have to keep an eye on everything - mistakes are much easier to avoid than to correct )
Bless your heart. Thank you Beth for sharing about your life. I’m so thankful that you don’t have stroke damage. You’re a sweetheart.❤
Thank you so much!
Congratulations! Very happy for you both 😊
I have to hand it to you. We’re about the same age and I just don’t think I have the energy to redo a house. I work out eat right and have my high school weight. So I applaud your energy. Your house will be beautiful when you’re done. Don’t worry about what other people think. You do you! Thank you for the update, I was wondering how it was going. Look forward to the next update. 😊
I love watching you! You are such a woman of excellence and I admire that!
I solely took care of my mother with Alzheimer's for 8.5 years before her death, so I understand the difficulties.
I think that some people see your house as already beautiful but when you can afford to get something just the way you want it, I say...Go for it! I am looking forward to seeing your house completely renovated.
I hope and pray your good health continues...
My house is 3800 sq ft and you and I are the same age...I like it! Often times the larger houses is better for organizing in which makes cleaning easier to me...
So far...the stairs are no problem!
I am a full believer in not stopping what you always have done, not to let the old gal in! LOL
So continue being you and may you continue to be blessed in so many ways!
Thanks for your wonderful videos
Hi, I too was dreaming of retiring. After a few months I went back to work part time because I missed everyone so much. 🥰
Beth, I was a 30 year divorced single Mom who got married, moved to a different city an hour away than retired a few years later. One of my biggest challenges was discarding my professional office attire and switching to a relaxed wardrobe. Both my husband & I went through our Mothers demise with Alzheimer’s & dementia. Going through their journeys got us into addressing our own aging process, dealing with our stuff and making sure our children understand our wishes. It’s very sad that here in the US caring for our elders is so expensive and that for most families the nice places are unaffordable.
Yes, everything you shared is so true. God bless you for helping your mother. You are so right though helping our parents just make us confront our own aging process. Ouch!
I’m so happy for you. You have worked so hard and now is time to enjoy your life with your husband. My husband and I retired in 2019 bought a new home and remodeled it too. It was a lot of work but we don’t regret it. Life is too short so enjoy it and do things that make you happy! 🌷
I’ve never had a hard time dealing with retirement, I feel I was BORN to retire! They truly have been the best 9 years of my life and I’m so very grateful.
As a vegan, I’m thrilled you’re on a WFPB diet. At 70, I’ve been on it for 7 years and feel great. I’m planning on retiring from my full time government job in a few months but will continue my part time caregiving job. I’ve been marking my calendar. My only worry is my net pension pay will be less than monthly income so I’m going to have to tighten my budget a bit. Your new house is absolutely beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much! Nice to hear from another vegan and I hope you have a wonderful retirement!
You are doing a lot. Don't let anyone put you down. They are just critical people with nothing better to do than give you there two cents. I started watching you around the time you had your stroke and you gave us so much information on that. Thank you for being strong and sharing your life with us
You are blessed to have both your Parents still living and moving very close to you. And, your Mother-in-law too. Can’t wait to see more progress on your beautiful home. Keep your energy up.
I want to tell you how much I appreciate your channel. You are a wonderful & beautiful person ❤. My mother cracked her femur 4/15. She is healing very wel. It's hard for her not being in control.
Your house is beautiful. Can't wait to see it finished. The basement is a full living quarters how perfect is that!
Happy for you! Enjoy your new home on the lake.😊
Amen sister…to the feelings of loneliness and boredom in retired life. I like people, I like to be around people, I like to help people. I’m asking God to give me something to do that will glorify Him. God bless you Beth.
Do you enjoy children? You might be able volunteer at a school. Then you could do other things during summer break.
Help at animal shelters, food banks, etc...
Dealing with aging parents or siblings can be challeging, be thankful your parents have the means to go to such a nice place.
Beth, I love your renovation project…it’s going to be stunning! I’ve been retired 10 years and even though I loved my job, I really love retirement. Funny story…We moved my then 95 yo mother-in-law into an independent living community too. During the pandemic, the residents were supposed to stay isolated in their apts. Instead we got a call from the director, that my MIL was throwing secret pina colada parties for all the residents!
That's a great story!
I love that you and your husband are still enjoying moving and renovating- what an inspiration !
Thank you so much! Our last renovation on our own home was 13 years ago. I am realizing I’m not as young as used to be! Lol!
I have not been through a home renovation and do not want to go through one. My sister who lives about 2 minutes from me has been going through a kitchen and laundry room renovation due to water damage. What a mess. No stove, no washer and dryer, no kitchen sink, and no dishwater. Her refrigerator is in her dining room. The renovation is now at 3 months. She occasionally uses my stove and washer and dryer. She is beyond stressed and ready for the renovation to be completed. I must say it will be beautiful when completed!
Your renovation seems to be coming along nicely. You’re lucky you have a nice lower level to live in until the dust settles. It seems like you have a lot in your life to deal with. I’m sending you lots of love your way Beth. ❤
Beth, it is so nice to see you! Everything - the house renovation, camping in the basement, elder care/support - is relatable. You are not alone. We all get one life. I’m glad you’re enjoying yours and embracing the challenges. It is inspiring! Melody
I retired and I’ve never missed it. I took on hobbies and interests that I didn’t have time for when I was working. Remodeled some parts of our home and purchased a summer cottage near a lake. Couldn’t be happier. Yes, we had situations with caring for parents, it is stressful. Love retirement tho!
So excited for you!! ❤🎉
Great video! Thank you for sharing❤
You’re a busy bee Beth! Hang in there and enjoy life’s ride 🎢 ( the ups and the downs as you know are part of it)! Everything will come together in due time and yes, haters abound on social media but your presence and spirit of love 💕 is appreciated here, so stop by when you can. ❤
Thanks so much! You’re a sweetheart!
You and hubby are amazing. Love your videos.😊
I love watching your videos!
I love that you sit on the floor. Way to go girl! 👏♥
Oh Beth, I love that you share your true, honest life with us. I so much relate to you. Thank you!
Beth- this is your life and you do what you choose to do!
My husband and I bought ate larger home 6 years ago and yes we put in quartzite with lighted countertops, painted inside and out, removed carpets putting down tile, etc. I am now 70 years old and have never looked back!
Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy
I love your videos. Wishing you the best with your procedures. You look great, and I love the home videos.
Thank you so much!
Your adventure sounds exciting! And since u've done it several times it'll be fun now without the added stress of working. I envy you ❣️
Hi Beth, thank you for sharing. You are a strong woman. If you can afford the remodel and wanted to great! You and Alan have made a wonderful life together. I retired at 50 because my company was sold. I immediately enrolled in college and got my BFA in 2003. My husband worked at a steel company 32 years and the company was bought out by a Japanese company who then filed bankruptcy. He lost his retirement except for a small amount he gets from the government’s Pension Benefit Guaranty. We managed but not much money left after the living expenses. He had his savings in company stock and lost it all. 6 yrs. Ago he was diagnosed with vascular dementia. It has been heartbreaking to witness his health falling. We live on a small lake and it is beautiful to look out the huge windows at the beauty. I understand why you wanted to view a lake. I wish you good health and happiness. Thank you for sharing.
Had to chuckle at the kitchen 2 tier bar! Our current home was built in 2003 & my husband did the same thing...brought the island down to one level, so much more room. We've remodeled our entire house ourselves over 20 yrs & are now thinking about moving but just like you it would mean probably remodeling another home. Not sure I have it in me! Lol Wonderful video!
I retired from a very stressful IT job 1.5 yrs ago and have never been busier! I'm still running my husband's HVAC business and we have 5 rental properties, 2 of which we are actively gut rehabbing two of them (DIY).
Thank you for sharing this new stage with us.
Retirement is not easy. I worked for more than 30 years, I enjoyed them and after 7 years of retirement I still am not used to this new stage. Good luck and good health 🍀
I love being retired! It just means that I have time to do all the things I didn't have time for before. My grandmother would start up a bridge game if she wanted more social time. My father drove for meals on wheels after retirement. He also drove a church bus. I guess he and his wife had a lot going on with their church. I love to play music at home, study languages, and meet people online. I'm also redoing the house I just bought, and it's really fun. Thanks for the update on your house, and I also love how open that area is where you took down the wall. I look forward to more!
Your new home is coming along nicely. You have excellent decorating skills. You look so healthy and happy. This stage of life w aging parents, our own changing health needs, retirement are all challenging yet rewarding! You are very optimistic and I love how you move forward and adapt to life so very well. I love your videos! Thank you Beth!
Your new home is going to be just beautiful!
Loved your update!
Excited for each update on your new home, it will be beautiful. I love being retired but have recently been asked back a few hours here and there behind the scenes. Best of both worlds!
I retired three years ago at 69 and luckily a friend from work (not the same company but same industry) retired at the same time (we are 1 month apart in age) and we both moved out of state to the same retirement neighborhood. So that really helped.
I retired about 4 years ago! At first I loved it-my time and my husband retired about a year before me and now we could do things together we haven’t had time between two children and jobs! Our kids are grown and on their own and now it’s just us! Being retired does take time to figure out your new adventure! So sorry to hear about some of your medical issues and hoping you are on the road to good health! Take care!!
Great update. Brought me up to speed about the aneurysm. You have lots on your plate. Zowie. I don't see anything wrong with wanting to put your own imprint on the new home. The previous owner had their style, and you have yours. You're lucky to have the financial means to make the changes a reality. We have the means, but my husband hates change. He loves small and cozy. I like big and airy. I never thought we'd be living in the same house after 50 years. But here we are. I've had to compromise because I'm happy when he's happy. Take care, and hope to see your next video soon.
Good to see you, Beth. Thanks for updates to what’s going in your life. I’m dealing with my mother’s health as she going to be 83 on Sunday. My mom for the most part is very independent and lives in independent complex for seniors. The only issue is her not eating enough. She is tired of cooking yet she continues to cook for herself. I help with cooking for her and I do bring her take out from her go to restaurants that she likes. Good video. ✨🌼
Hello Sweet Beth. You have a plate full! You sure know how to take one thing at a time. You really have it organized to be able to live comfortably while they work on the upstairs. I love all your workout equipment. I am praying for you. I hope you love your new home snd can sit outside and enjoy all it offers. Take care.
Thanks Beth for sharing your Reno. Take care ❤
Love Love this video! ❤ You are a breath of fresh air. 🌸🌸🌸🌸
Thank you so much!!
I know your new home will be beautiful, I like light and bright too!!! 😍
Thanks for the update Beth! Your home will be beautiful when you’re finished! Looking forward to the updates! 🥰🥰
Beth, so good to see you again!! Loved the updates💗 So glad you are doing so well, I know you must be extremely busy, so thank you for taking the time to visit with us🤗 Love ya, Cindy🌻💗
I'm so excited for you Beth! Thank you for sharing updates on your new house. 🙂
Very interesting to see the redecorating process…thank you!
Beth, i follow this channel because I feel you are a genuine and caring person. I consider you a role model. Thanks for sharing the updates. I'm glad your dad is ok despite the fall. I think the moves your parents and Darlene are making will be wonderful for them. Continue to share the house progress- it's beautiful. No retirement yet for me, but I'm paying attention to your helpful hints as it's slowly approaching 😊❤
So exciting!!!!! Please follow your heart on what you like for your home and enjoy every moment!! Best wishes to your lovely parents in their new home also!❤
Well Beth…I just want to give you a big hug!!! So difficult to go through all those stressors in such a short period of time. Please take care of yourself…spa day, wine with friends, whatever it takes to relax and rest. You are such a take charge and kind person, but your health scare was a wake up call that you need to carve out some quiet time each day just for you.
Thanks so much. That’s great advice!
So happy for your update Beth🥰.2 days ago I just checked up on your channel and realized it's been over 3 weeks since you've had an upload.Have missed your cheerfulness!
Wow girl! You have a lot on your plate! So sorry to hear about the aneurysm. Oh my gosh! At least the drs can do something about it. But Man! Kinda scary. I'll be praying for you! And aging parents! Oh my, yes. Been there, done that. It's a constant worry. So glad they are willing and can afford to move into assisted living. My mom had dementia and was bed ridden the last 2.5 years of her life. Myself and 2 brothers took turns caring for her with occasional help from hospice. Extremely stressful time. She's in heaven now. 😍 Anyway, I really feel for you! I'm keeping you in my prayers, Beth! God bless you!❤
The season of aging parents is bitter-sweet and over far too soon. Hug them while they're here, and remember to ask all those questions you need to while they're with you. When they go on to their rewards, that window slams shut....
Thanks for the wonderful reminder. You are so right about that. This is a challenging time, but you are right, it is a precious time.
I retired about 7 months ago. I was really ready. I am adjusting well and love not having to get out when the weather is bad. I am a homebody so I love staying home. Now I go into the city once a week so I see lots of people. I do miss some of my friends from work but I keep up with them thru mutual friends at Church. I hope you will adapt well to this phase of your life.
Congratulations of your retirement and your new home. I love see new renovations going. I am sure your home well look stunning indeed. Thanks for sharing your new home and your ongoing renovations. I also retired last year in August so
now we are renovating our home in Australia we live in a big house and block so in the future are going to downsize and
so some traveling. Take care.
Thank you for educating us on how to respond to a stroke. Honestly I had not given it much thought although many in my family have died of one. I admire your optimism and how brave you are when you speak on your future surgery. I certainly would be anxious about it and I pray if confronted with a health scare - I can respond like you do. You uplift me and many women. I pass on your videos to family and friends. Sending you love and praying that everything goes well for you and your family. 🙏❤️
Hi Beth, looks like your home renovations are coming along nicely. I'm so happy for you and Allin and cannot wait to see updates! I'm finally in the process of retiring as well. Not quite sure what my plans are being single and I really don't like doing things alone but I'll figure it out. Glad to hear your parents are doing well and are happy. Sending lots of love your way always. Cynthia ❤🌹🦋🙏
I have recently found your channel, probably because I am also whole food plant based. Looking forward to seeing all the changes in your new home.
Hi Beth! Thanks for the update. I have been wondering how your remodel is going. It’s going to look great-can’t wait to see more as it’s completed!
Love your videos Beth. I appreciate your opening your life to us and being vulnerable. We are never too old for a good house renovation 😅. Congrats on your beautiful home and location ❤ My son lives in Kansas City😃
Beth, you are phenomenal!
Good for you Beth! I've been retired for 18 months. I don't miss working at all. At my last job, I was by myself 90% of the time, and I loved it. I've gotten into various hobbies on a grander scale. I'm currently making soap for a homeless shelter in my town that now offers showers. I've volunteered various times over the years, so I'll be doing more of that. Along with the crafting, I'm fostering senior dogs until they find a forever home. Good luck on your health journey.
Hi Beth! Sooo happy to see you! And excited to see the new renovations. I'm 52, I work in Healthcare and to be honest I've always found work to be therapeutic. I've always had lots of nervous energy, if I sit too long I get really anxious. It's sorta like a blessing and a curse. But anywhooooo- looking forward to your next video!
Man, you’ve been dealing with lots. I admire you for your positive attitude and wish you well on all fronts. Stay healthy!
Beth your house is beautiful, I love light and airy, cant wait to see it all finished, you look well and just be happy xx
thanks ,love to hear from you, like hearing about your life
I'm so glad you are better. I retired 9 years ago and miss it so much so that I keep sending out resumes, however, I am getting older.... I love being home, organizing, helping the family, piano playing and sewing, but miss the challenge of my work and of course the social camaraderie. I also longed to be home when I worked, and now that I am, I long to work. Sometimes I wonder about myself! lol!
I love your views, your ideas for what you're going to do with your new home and I'll admit it here...I've got to downsize considerably because we want to sell our home here in Florida and move to another state. I see what's pending for you and wonder if I'll have the "gonna" to do it all. I hope the work on your new home comes along quickly and you get to move upstairs before a year goes by.
Wow, keeping you in my prayers
How wonderful that you both will have your parents so close by in such a nice retirement home! It will give you peace of mind knowing that they aren’t alone. Your house is so pretty and I’m looking forward to seeing the final results. Everyone has their own style so I don’t know why people will complain about decor choices someone makes in their own home!
