Mary's Story

Update: Living in Palm Springs for the past 3+ years after leaving the Bay Area to "downsize" to something affordable. The trajectory has Oakland (20 years) to Berkeley (1.5 years) to Sunnyvale (2 years) to Saratoga (19 years) to Burlingame (24 years)...and now this place! I've been married to my second (and last) husband for 36 years, and while we had some big plans for our post-move life once we finished working on the house the plague tamped those down. We're looking forward things opening back up in 2022! I made the decision to keep working longer than usual to fund various home improvement projects and future travel. My "day job" centers around technology communications, and I've had the great privilege of being able t work out of my home office since 2004. My husband retired before we moved south and is pursuing his photography. I'm still working on my "to experience" list, probably because I just keep adding on to it. We went to Jordan and Egypt at the end of 2019 but put ...Expand for more
off committing to another "big" trip until the Covid situation sorted itself out...which has clearly taken longer than hoped. I had a troublesome knee replaced a few years ago so my younger sister and I are considering some adventure trips without the husbands, neither of whom are into roughing it. (When I told my husband that one of the perks for the Trans-Siberian Express was unlimited free boiling water his look was priceless.) Palm Springs is interesting - hotter than Hades in the summer but perfection from October through May - but since we have zero interest in golf it's a bit odd to have relocated to a place so known for that. Still, the move has been good so far with lower home prices and far less traffic and congestion. Plus there are diversions like the Palm Springs Film Festival and Modernism Week. The rest of the family lives on the Peninsula, so I get back to the Bay for visits from time to time. Hope everyone is enjoying this phase of life to the full extent possible!
