Very interesting read. I read each & every post. I escaped the "take the keys" with my mother. She was a snowbird coming to Az with me for the winters. One day when I came home from work she handed them to me and said she was done. She had not realized the stop was a 2 way and thought it was a 4 way. Pulled out in front af a feed truck doing about 60. He narrowly missed her thank God, scared her and she realized and told me she could no longer drive safely. I so admire her for that.
I'm on my way to 63 and retired 2 yrs ago. I'm working PT @ Home Depot to stay in the stream of life. I've talked to them about extended time off to travel. Not full time but a lot. I have missed so much of my families lives I want to visit with them more. They are scattered all over the country. I'm single so I'm gonna give it a go and see how it goes. I'm the type that needs roots so I'll keep the house for now. I already have one rentaland if I enjoy it enough I'll rent this one and go full time.
I'm hoping your daughter is wanting her children to have a better relationship with the two of you. You may have a good & necessary impact on their lives. Kids will tell grandparents so much more than parents. They feel more comfortable talking to grandma & grandpa. At least my grandaughter does. Just another item to consider. Good luck with what ever decision you make. Let God lead you, you won't regret it. Bless you and have a good one.
Sorry about the long post but I got carried away.
