4. I wish you well. I'm also 76.

I have finally decided that "country living" is going to do me in if I keep up all these damn chores, so I'm at least looking to move closer to what family I have (within 180 miles, that is). I'm TOO independent.

After I repair some door moldings and weather seals, of course.

My main hobbies are piano and photography. I have been at them for many years and in all kinds of locations. For example, my daughter's place is adjacent to a marina and the ocean. I got great photos of herons and egrets, and fabulous scenery on recent visits.

Take good care.

My ex is in a Dell Webb senior community, and sure, homes go up for sale now and then. Fill your time with interesting and hopefully low stress and strain activities. On a past Yosemite visit, I stopped about half way up Sentinel Dome and let my daughter take the photos from the top. I actually got some wonderful photos from the base, which was a "no climb" kind of walk from the nearest parking spot. And I'll never run out of piano pieces to learn. There are challenges a'plenty and rewards without being a superhero or trying to be one.

Enjoy.
