You seem to be able to relocate and to adapt quite easily. I guess it gets harder as we get older. I would have preferred to live in a house but my husband is uninterested in domestic chores. We would be fighting all the time. I can sympathize with dental problems as I have a damaged tooth that will eventually need an implant. Ouch! costly and time consuming. Good luck with your decision-making.Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-32249938980645103862019-05-26T21:49:20.003-04:002019-05-26T21:49:20.003-04:00Glad your dental problem is over.

I lived in a townhouse like that once, and found it suited my needs very well, esp. as I was getting older and less interested in home maintenance and yard work. Anyhooo, just a thought. Best of luck in your move!Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-92071302517945313222019-05-26T16:58:27.221-04:002019-05-26T16:58:27.221-04:00Wow - how great to have your daughter in the same ...Wow - how great to have your daughter in the same city! We have owned homes since 1978 including this one so I feel the pain of having to get things fixed. There are a couple on our list at the moment too but at least the outside is the responsibility of our HOA.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-26094842981077279952019-05-25T21:21:44.711-04:002019-05-25T21:21:44.711-04:00Dental problems and earaches can be the worst.

So many things to consider. Our house is 10 years old and we are beginning to have issues with things. Needed a new oven, AC condenser went out. It is so nice to be able to call someone to fix things when you are leasing or living in a complex of sorts. <br />I am looking forward to having my daughter and her family in the same city with us and I know you would enjoy being closer to your children.onceuponatimehappilyeverafter.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14496967140182523960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-38076739857752079452019-05-25T19:16:55.839-04:002019-05-25T19:16:55.839-04:00This is exactly the discussion we are having but H...This is exactly the discussion we are having but Hubby really doesn't want to live in multi-family housing. Fortunately we should be able to hire help as needed.

Hahaha. Apartment living has it negatives but for me - a single woman with limited means - it is the best thing. I used to try to fix all kinds of things myself but those days are over. So you should think about whether you will feel like keeping up a house and will have the disposable income. If you think you can, then a single family home is as good bet. If you're not sure, I wonder if it is best to err on the side of caution.

We are determined to take advantage of our short drive while we can.

There appears to be a very robust forum @ Sacramento you might find interesting.<br /><br />Love the Ventura Pier. My dad kept his sailboat there, and I have wonderful memories of sailing out to watch fireworks every 4th of July. Have you eaten at Andria's Seafood yet? Best fish and chips ever if not!Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248579159497266955noreply@blogger.com
