I cried a lot, as I was leaving behind good friends. You are fortunate to still live in the same vicinity so you did not lose friends and yet will have new adventures! Enjoy your new lifestyle!

Is that your personal garden space or is it shared? (You know how lazy I am about household chores in my 'third age', so what I am really asking is whether you have to weed and water it.) It's a lovely outdoor space either way and whichever it is I'm sure it will be perfect for you. <br /><br />Love the hot new wheels too!Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-87651974903963318302017-04-07T20:54:05.760+10:002017-04-07T20:54:05.760+10:00Best wishes in your new home, Diane and Bill, and ...Best wishes in your new home, Diane and Bill, and on all the adventures you will have zipping around in that new car.
