To our Friends all over the world,

Yes, another year and we are still here. Physically and cognitively we have moved to another plateau, but still functioning and socially interacting well . However, memories often need more reminding.. There are TV personalities and friends we know everything about them but their names suddenly escape us when needed and only come back later at least expected times. We reference our calendar more frequently and devise aids to help us to not forget engagements. Otherwise, both of us are still reasonably healthy at almost 91 and 89 respectively- long beyond our life expectancies.

Retirment living at this senior community are very efficient and safe. We only pay one bill per month which covers everything including one meal per day of your choice (breakfast, lunch or dinner which allows us to eat out frequently at Asian restaurants whenever desired)). Services and amenities are plenty and prompt. Since downsizing (get rid of 2/3 of our stuff) 3 years ago and moving here, we have not missed or regreted getting rid of anything which really says something about the wasteful nature of American lives. We also are letting our kids to take over more of our managment and financial tasks at the same time they are thankful to be relieved of taken care of us since the senior retirement community we live in speacializes in this task 24/7. 

Lives are good. We are a lucky couple and love to live the good life..
