Rain, rain, go away. We have had rain for a week. Not good. Can't golf. Boo hiss!! That's our exercise. We walked this am, between the rain drops. Went to a 90th Birthday Party yesterday at our neighbors. It was very nice. Cake and ice cream. My kind of party. Al and I went to a pancake breakfast yesterday at what is called the Kings Crown on the SP Island. We went because we do not know much about the Assisted Living or the Medcial part of Shell Point. Thank goodness. However, they just renovated the Kings Crown and had an open house. It is beautiful, but we are not ready for assisted living at this point in our lives. However, there were a few ladies from our building, in their early 70's, who are in very good health, and decided to go to the Assisted Living because they do not care to cook any longer. At the Assisted Living, you get your three meals a day. I still cook and bake, so I do not wish at this time to go this route. However, I think we will know when we will be ready. Hopefully, we will not wait to long to make the decision as many people do. Alot of people told us we were crazy to buy in Shell Point when we did four years ago. I think it was the right time for us. Most people wait to long to become residents of Shell Point. Living in a Life Care Retirement Community extends your life expectancy by 10 years. I'll buy that, gotta lot of livin to do yet. People think that the place we live, is as it use to be years ago. One room and dingy. Not so here. We have our own condo, come and go as we please and have loads of activities and trips. When you are in Assisted Living, you also have your own quarters, maybe a little smaller than you have now. But, you have to keep in mind, the reason you go there is because you need assistance in your living everyday. Guess that catches you up on Assisted Living. Hope I cleared up some questions for everyone. Not ready to do it yet, but, nice to know when the time comes, it will be just as beautiful as the condo we have now. The Arbor, which is also an Assisted Living building here at the Woodlands where we live, was just built. Cost $5000000. Wow, it's beautiful. Our thought when we moved into Shell Point? This is the best Gift we will ever give our children. Barb
