Hi, Ginger I found Mayo connect because of my interest in health and lifestyle medicine. Somebody sent me a link to something that brought me here. Don't remember exactly what. I am interested in healthy aging, as I'm sure we all are.

I miss my garden (especially my compost pile) and my last home was walking distance from the lake. I can fairly easily reach the lake from my new home and I just have to content myself with recycling my organics with the city.

@starchy, I am glad that you have joined and shared on Connect. You have pretty much summarized our (husband and my) thoughts of wanting to make the decision while young enough and healthy enough to enjoy the benefits. You said that you spent a couple of years planning and preparing, organizing, minimizing. That makes sense to me, and gives me a starting point.

When did you transition from planning stage to the committment to move? Did you have a tentative time frame in mind when you started out with your planning and minimizing?
