Where do you want to grow old?

Hello, retired folks! I am 87 and living in my home here in the beautiful Arkansas Ozarks. I lost my husband of 60 years about 10 years ago. My home is one level with wide doors at front, bathroom, master bedroom; walk-in shower with grab bar and shower chair, grab bar on commode, walker in bedroom. My daughter and son-in-law live 15 miles away and they make it possible for me to live here alone. I had a stroke a year ago and was in hospitals and a nursing home til they took me out and lived here with me for 4 months. I don't drive anymore, my choice. Don't want to move to a retirement home! Some of them are very nice, however.

Doris Jeanne,

My condolences on the loss of your husband.

It sounds like you have a great place to live there. I spent parts of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s in Madison County (Kingston) and Fayetteville. May I ask what part of northern Arkansas you are in?

Have a wonderful day,

Jim G
