independent living next month. I keep on going back to the place and it feels very good every time.

I currently live alone in New Mexico, nearest family is my sister in Overland Park, KS. Son lives in Fairfax, VA. A lot of the decision to make this change has to do with that. I'm 77, and while most people seem astonished when I tell them my age (despite the gray hair and wrinkles) I can tell I'm getting older. I keep on going over there to have lunch, and chat with new people every time. Most seem reasonably content there.
