My wife and sisters-in-law and I just spent most of the past two weeks helping my in-laws move into a retirement community. They are a little older than Rudy and Kay and, since they don't ride, they waited a bit too long to make the move so they are thankful it is located just two blocks from the hospital, which they have already taken advantage of.

After taking several hundred apple boxes of stuff to the Goodwill and packing up and storing several hundred more boxes of items that we will spend the next decade selling, my wife and I have been inspired to start the down-sizing project now, now, now. I can't believe some of the things I have kept around all these decades. Away it goes, whoosh.
