We’re Moving–Eventually

Today we paid the deposit required to move to Trillium Woods, a Continuing Care Retirement Community.

A CCRC is a place where you move in as independent living then stay in the same facility right through hospice care. No, we are not dying. Not in the foreseeable future, anyway.

But, Trillium woods has nearly every facility to meet physical, mental, and social activities all under one roof. That’s something I greatly appreciate living here in Minnesota where winter lasts seven months of the year.

There are two restaurants. There’s a pool, whirlpool, and exercise equipment. There are classrooms where crafts are taught. There is an auditorium where they show movies and have programs including TedX talks. There are game gatherings. And a book club. And church services and Bible study. And a meditation room. And a health care center that includes memory care. And, and, and…

I am hoping to get healthier in every way once I am not restricted to our current apartment for months on end.

But our lease on this apartment is not up until the end of October so we are not actually moving until October 25th.

In the meantime, our new apartment looks like this:

That’s our camping table & chairs sitting in the new living room where we can sit and contemplate the move while enjoying the view of the wildlife refuge out our windows.

As my friend Freddie says, “LIFE IS GOOD!”

TTYL,
