A New Home After 43 Years

 
My New Home
 
In 1970 we moved from our small home in Beverly Place subdivision to my parents home and my home that I lived in before I married.  My parents moved there in 1955.  Dad decided he wanted to move and offered us to buy the house. I lived in that house through 2 more births of my 7 children and deaths of 2 husbands.  The house was so big, so many memories and I just wanted to start over with something new.  I never moved before because of John and Kathy but now Matt and Kelly need a home for them and their 4  children and I needed John and Kathy to stay there. And I wanted the home to stay in the family as Alex had done so much handiwork there.

So after Randy died, I was ready to move but had to wait almost a year for Matt to get his act together. He finally got a short sale and I was lucky to find an apartment in Pleasant Grove for people over 55.

I first wanted to move to Green Bay Wisconsin with Tammy but I have friends here and family and things going on. I love my new apartment and the people. It was so much work to get move and I never want to move again!

I had a fund summer of going on a tour to central California and then to the Tuacahn with the seniors and then a very long girls road trip to Wisconsin with my daughter Monica and granddaughter Lacey. Lots of fun but tiring.  To see more about Wisconsin and the photos there see: http://tulabell.blogspot.com/2013/07/4th-of-july-photos.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Tulabell+%28Tulabell%29  Tammy's blog.

I found out I had diabetes and the meds I was taking made me very sick and have low blood sugar. I am on different meds now and feeling better and I have lost weight.

There are lots of activities here at the apartment complex and I plan on taking more classes this fall with Beverly and going to Branson MS in November.
