DOWNsizing!

At ages 83 and 81 we are downsizing and moving into an independent senior living facility.
Lots of looking and checking prices and getting rid of loads of stuff!
At 2 recent swap meets got rid of/donated over 100 event T-shirts and over a hundred medals and trophies from our 40=some years of tandeming all over the country . . . when you go from a big house to a tiny senior apartment, you just got to get rid of 'stuff!'
Finagled a free 'pack and move' deal and free locked inside storage for our tandem and single bike; loads of amenities and 3 great meals a day + free snax at anytime + loads of new friends!
It will be a huge change but we look at it as a new adventure!
No, we are not giving up riding, but limiting our home-owner responsibilities like no yard work, no home insurance, no home-owner association fees, no real estate taxes and NO utilities to pay for except for phone and wi-fi.
Pedal on TWOgether!
