Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / August 2005OTP: We're Here!
Well, Bob is not a morning person so it was 11:30 AM Saturday morning before we hit the road. At 10:30 PM we checked into the hotel. We stopped every two hours and walked around, we crawled for several miles on the Pennsylvania Turnpike where two or three cars all tried to occupy the same space at the same time, and of course, we had lunch and supper along the way. So it was a lot longer than it really needed to be. This morning we did laundry then after lunch and a nap, we drove through the Fairborn area. That is just off the base of Wright Patterson and we loved it! We found a 55+ mobile home park that is just beautiful. All the homes are double wide and landscaped. Most have a garage and all (including those with garages) have carports. I think we found a home. There are six homes in this area for sale and I have already emailed our agent to look into them for us and let us see the insides. Thanks for all the prayers that enabled us to have a safe and fairly uneventful trip. DeeTee DeeTee, we lived in an adult mobile home park in Florida. Our home was an extra long double wide with more storage space than I have ever had in a hand built home. We had a carport and a nice circular drive. However, I decided while there and when Grayson got sick and I got sick, that I would not recommend living in an adult park to anyone else. Everyone there is older and lots are sick; there's nobody to help out when you have problems and need help. I know it is nice at times not to have children around but it's the parents of those children who are available to offer assistance. We had wonderful neighbors, but they had as many problems as we did. Just for what it's worth! Gwen > Well, Bob is not a morning person so it was 11:30 AM Saturday morning > before we hit the road.

That's one thing about the LDS church...we help each other whenever needed. The church is organized in such a way that we could have at least two people there within minutes if needed. We're looking forward to the experience. DeeTee > We would not be dependent on the neighbors, but would call on church > members.

Ours will be much further and if the two hours of open house time with these two nuts is any indication -- at least one of these animals will be meowing the entire trip. Thinking of asking the vet for tranquilizers. For the cats... Duckie > Well, Bob is not a morning person so it was 11:30 AM Saturday morning > before we hit the road.

For the cats... > Duckie We spent a week in a hotel room under forced flood evacuation with two small dogs and a normally outside cat that didn't much like the dogs, being indoors, being in a strange place, or the fact that all our nerves were pretty much shredded. The second day I went to a vets office to see about getting something for the cat. Vet wouldn't charge me for the office visit or the meds or anything. Poor cat just chilled for the rest of the week. Our daughter and her husband and two small children didn't evacuate but instead stayed in town and fed the emergency workers from the larder at the restaurant where my daughter worked. At least they were in a four story house built for floods (before there was a levee) and we knew they were are the top of the to be rescued list. And everyone was fine. Even the cat. Jo I hope you both find the ideal place you are hunting for. I hope the move goes well for you. SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.

Most of them have several steps to climb to get into them and not alot of room to move around in if you have to use a wheelchair of walker. My bathroom was a buger with the walker. My door is too narrow. My niece offered to widen it but she wanted to use the chain saw so I declined. Yahoooooo!!! Glad you and Bob arrived safely DeeTee! Wishing you both the very best in your new home! Hugs! Donna G >My niece offered to widen it but she >wanted to use the chain saw so I >declined. ROFL!!! Yep, I can see that this niece is definitely related to you Sarah! Her penchant for power tools and all! Donna G |
