Dreaming about where we'll move to and what our home might look like helps to keep my mind off what we'll have to part with. We'll be moving because we want to be closer to children and grandchildren, not because we have been transferred and/or found a job there. I've moved several times, three times to different states, so I know I can "bloom where I'm planted."
Bill and I have zeroed in on a city that's pretty much halfway between our kids, and has enough amenities that should be able to sustain us into our old age. The town is small, but houses a good hospital ... a major requirement. I hate to think it, but one or both of us is likely to need a hospital toward the end of our life. It will be good if our spouse won't need to travel very far to visit the other.
There's also a good library and senior center. There are plenty of opportunities for hiking, boating, fishing, golf, etc. which we look forward to enjoying, and which will be good places to take our grandkids. We'll surely miss our near-by public recreation center and the opportunities for ballroom dancing.
It took us quite a while to find the right church in our current city; there's no doubt we will miss it. How difficult will it be to find the right one in a smaller town?
