    Morning Coffee

    My friend Jeff came by and picked me up for coffee at Mugs this morning, which became two hours of good conversation. He is moving to senior low-cost housing in Windsor and needed to talk about it. It’s something both of us have talked about for over a year. So this morning we talked about facing the reality that many of us do qualify for senior housing and for low-cost housing. Yet, our minds do not always follow our age. I qualify for both. In fact, I have my name on the waiting list for 2 of those facilities.

    I was trying to figure out what to say in a blog post for this evening because it’s been a couple days and I don’t want my millions of readers worrying. I also have comments I’d like to respond to. As far as my health I am still not driving and I’m not lifting over ten pounds. I will see the surgeon this coming Friday and hopefully have the staples removed and be given the okay to to drive again. I am still taking it cautiously when I move, making sure I take care of my incision. Thanks to all of you who checked on me. It means a lot. They say we could see snow overnight here and I see some of you have already had snow or rain today. I hope you had a good weekend and stay dry and warm!

    Jim Bales Place

    Jim Bales Place

    Housing sure has changed over the years. The houses I was raised in was so different than what I raised my family in and their houses are different also. We can go back each generation and see the changes in houses. A smile comes across my face as I look at this image of Jim Bales place in the Great Smoky Mountains. Probably too small for most Americans way of living: no running water or electricity, therefore no microwave, TV, desk lamp, hot water or crapper. Probably would stay on the market too long. And, where’s the 3-car garage?
