@marvinjsturing Good luck with your move, that's such a taxing endeavor. We want to move but really need to clear out so many years of memories. It's not easy. We had gotten a good start in the summer and then I fractured my femur so the move got put on the back burner. If I'm not getting things done, nothing gets done. So I have vowed that after the holidays I will get back to it and hopefully we will move in the spring. We won't be moving closer to our son or daughter -- he lives in Denver, she is in NYC -- but just downsizing, hopefully not too far from where we are now.
I hope all goes well with the move and that you enjoy living closer to your grandchildren. I do not yet have grandchildren to enjoy -- I am way too old to not have them too!

@marvinjsturing I can certainly understand moving and the time involved. It is not an easy job; it's hard work. I know you will enjoy being closer to family, and I hope still close to the hospital for your transplant when that news comes through. You are right about moving being exercise. Any time I get a notion to change a room around and we have heavy pieces to move, my husband and I feel it in the old bones the next day. But, it gets done. When we are all settled in again, hopefully we can all get back to exercise. With the holidays, I know I'll need it for enjoying the good food. Take care and keep in touch about your transplant.
