Life as we know it is going to change probably this year

Have been so busy I have not had time to blog lately.

My husband had another emergency room visit and subsequent hospital stay which made us realise that it is time to move on from our country paradise in the middle of nowhere and join the world again in a small town near to the VA hospital.

The reality is we are getting too old to keep up the 20 acres and all that involves plus country living with wells and lagoons etc. and we need to be much closer to his hospital for all the appointments, stays and emergencies.

We are gutted, we love this place so much but we have to be honest with ourselves.

So, to that end we have been getting the place ready to list on the market.

We hit a bit of a hitch as I have come down with a really nasty cold which is rendering me pretty much useless but hopefully a few more days will put paid to that.

So, many changes to come, some will be for the better and some for the worse but realism has set in and we know we have to do it.

Will keep you updated........

    So sorry to read about your husband. Hope you feel better soon too, these flu like bugs can lay you low. Hoping all goes well with the sale of your much loved home and that you find something suitable nearer the hospital. Take care.

      Thanks, this cold is a doozy, normally I can just work right through them but this one has hit hard. Praying my husband doesn't catch it as he has COPD so doesn't need more lung problems.

      We have known for a while it is inevitable, just took this latest episode to make us face up to things. Hope all is well with you both. Making the decision was hard but making it happen is also difficult. Hope if you have to do it it all goes smoothly.

    I think we all eventually have to make that hard decision. Getting older brings all manner of decisions doesn't it. I do hope you find somewhere wonderful that you can very quickly turn into a place to call home. Our next move will be the last one for us so it will be thoroughly researched.
