That's why my main home is NYC,which is a great place to be retired adn
older, as long as yo have housing. I have been in my plac efor 47 years
and could never afford to move in now. I just like to get up to our
little house in the summer to enjoy the green, the cooth, the beauty and
looking at the gardenthat I can no longer do aanything with go to rack and
ruin.

I had a friend come up one week adn we found that it was hairier than we
had thought even just working out meals, etc adn no cell phone service on
my mountain. I a used to using the regular phone in a limited way, but
she no longer was. Needed instant contact with her grandshildren all the
time. I use email:-)
