My children are scattered; my son is in Ventura, CA in the Air Force, my oldest is in Raleigh, NC and they have a 20 yo at UNC studying Pre-Med. My younger daughter is married to a British RAF pilot, retired. and lives in Lincolnshire, UK.. she has one daughter living in the DC area with 2 children, 3 & 4. I retired in 2015 due to health issues. To stay sane I volunteer at the hospital one day a week and at a nursing home 2 days a week reading to Alzheimer’s patients and have lunch with them. I hope everyone is COVID free and enjoying your “elder” years. Blessings to all.
