Living The Good Life

Many of you know we have been living here in the state of Georgia for over a decade now, and truth be told, it's pretty nice, once you get used to the humidity, and the pterodactyl sized mosquitos. For the longest time we were the only ones on the east coast, but in the past few years, my mom and my sister have moved back east, so now the only one living on the west coast is my dad.

He moved to Oregon a few years ago and he loves it up in the Pacific Northwest. He loves the climate, he loves the people, and he's really enjoying himself up there. When you're 76, you should love where you live. If he didn't pick Oregon, I am sure he would have ended up in Washington state, because it is just as beautiful. He loves living in a small town with many larger cities close enough if he needs anything, and I bet when he gets just a little older (were talkin' 10-15 years here) my bet is he will look for retirement communities in washington state, because he loves the area so much.

I've been trying to get him back here for a visit for the longest time, but he's too busy working. Go figure. I hope I have half his energy when I am his age.
