They have two of our great grandchildren, five and four. They have four Pugs and we periodically visit them for a few days. We're heading there on Tuesday so the mom and dad can have a night out and an overnight stay in a nice hotel for Valentine's Day whilewe baby-sit and have a fun little Valentine's dinner with the kids.

In a few months we are moving there permanently. My grandson and his wife are having a manufactured home put on their property where we will live and rent it. I dread moving but I'm looking forward to living there. We're getting old and need to be close to family. We have two dogs and we are planning for chickens and maybe goats on their five acres.

Sounds wonderful. Closer to family for so many reasons sounds like the ticket for you Deuxcents Feb 2023 #2

It will be a downsize, but only the house, not the land. Mr.Bill Feb 2023 #3
