Keep doing what you love to do. I figure that if a person keeps active for as long as they possibly can. Then that increases your life (IMHO). You can plan keep traveling longer than if you go to a retirement home. You will know when the time to stop. Your children just trying to be helpfull,and that is very nice. My Aunt who lives up in Ridgeway Washington is 94 and still drives her car, and gets around pretty well. My plan is to retire at age 62 and plan on Rving for 10 years, after that we'll see. Good luck, and happy trails. Scott
Thank you for posting ... since we have looked at alternate places to live we have also been communicating more with our youngest daughter.
And yes, there has been a change .. we see that one of her concerns was when we are no longer a couple and either a widow or widower - what then ? And have y'all talked about what then ?
Since DH does all the driving and I cannot due to a medical problem, some of her concerns were well placed.
And yes, we have talked, but I think that us actually taking the time to go around to apartments, 55+ places, mobile home parks, etc. that she feels less stressful about the what if .. More time with her & the family plus more communication has worked ..
