My only regret in life is that my lack of awareness was costly...now I am a skeptic....not always but for the most part.
Laura and I have both had bouts with cancer, Atrial Fib., skin problems and the like....but we live every day like is the last day of the rest of our lives. It is interesting to live in a community with so many active seniors...no rocking chairs here.
We are involved in many activities we have a Golden Retriever that is a therapy dog and she in gentle and loving, her name is Ginger. In addition, we play cards, golf, swim exercises, home decorating club and participate in all kinds of community events.
