June, 2026

I started a new chapter in my life in February of 2024. I moved from a spacious condo in Bellingham, Washington to a one-bedroom apartment in a senior living complex in a suburb of Des Moines, Iowa. This turned out to be a rewarding decision. I am currently in an independent living apartment, which is perfect for now. I can transfer to assisted living if it ever becomes necessary, but not for now! This is a very welcoming community and I can keep myself as busy as I wish. Since I have more problems getting around as I age, being in a place with elevators is key. I am grateful that I have a willing daughter for shopping and medical, dental and eye appointments.

I am still reading science fiction, but have added mysteries, mostly British non-gory types. Almost exclusively I use my Kindle to read my books as my eyesight is slowly deteriorating.
