Some days I'm fine, some days not so fine.
SELLING MY CONDO
When I put my condo up for sale, I never expected it would sell so fast. Before I knew it I had to start getting rid of lots of items, big and small.
Looking back on it now I realize I should have taken more time to downsize and kept looking for the right place. The pressure was on and I was pleased that I had a buyer that agreed to my asking price.
That was then, this is now.
MOVING THINGS OVER
With Steve and Carol's help we have started to move things over to my new place at Brooksby Village.

That way I won't be overwhelmed come moving day. I also realize it will be overwhelming no matter how much we do before hand.
Moving is a very big deal no matter how you slice it!
Even though I have not officially moved in yet, I can take advantage of any activities that are taking happening at the new place during this "in between time."
One day last week I happened to be there when Brooksby was having a cook-out at the nearby clubhouse. I thought it would be a good idea to go check it out.
It turned out to be a good experience.
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
Some people looked familiar to me, and come to find out they came from nearby towns and cities that I had lived in, even the town I grow up in!
Others I spoke with told me how happy they are at Brooksby and gave me tips like:
- If you looking for a Man Jong game - Wednesdays at 1:00 - someone is always looking for a player. Good way to get into a game.
- One lady gets her hair done at the clubhouse and is pleased with the shop. Good to know.
When I expressed interest in finding a Yiddish speaking group. one lady referred me to a couple that could help me pursue that interest. We exchanged phone numbers and I'll let her know how I make out.
THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING
This is all very encouraging but the proof is in the pudding.

I'm sure it will take time for me to adjust to my new inviroment and lifestyle, and I just hope it won't take too long.
I've had some wonderful years here at the Summit - now - a new chapter is beginning for me.
Chapter One starts soon!
