That is a big change, for all of you. I am sure your mom gave careful thought to this before making her decision. I am glad you will support her in this.

As you may know, I have been clearing out and fixing up the house where I grew up, for about 2 years now. Since it is an hour and a half drive one way, this has been a challenge. Finally the end is near, and I think I will be moving in by end of April. Then I have to get my house sold. I am so tired of driving back and forth, having the dogs with me and the cats in the other house. I want us all together. You will have that, Barry, you and your mom and Heidi. So this is a nice thing to think about.

I have been selling things on craigslist and throwing out 7 to 11 bags of trash weekly. What a time! And dealing with the contractors is not fun either. Having an apartment or condo will be much easier for you and your mom to maintain.
