Greetings all. There is much happening suddenly. Carol and I both need assisted living. Once that was determined, we found a place that is in Antioch near our little church and will allow us to keep our dog, CeCe. We are moving in on October 10. It is a whirlwind. We are downsizing like mad and I am trying to get used to the idea that I will no longer be able to cook for my bride.

This is a huge new step for us. We are moving into what will most likely be the last place we ever live. While coming to terms with that emotionally, we also must come to terms with it practically. There is a lot of stuff to go through and new things we will have to purchase. This will be expensive. I am creating a Go Fund Me account and asking you, our friends, to donate whatever you can to help offset the cost of this move. New hospital beds for instance. Related furniture with long term care in mind. It is expensive equipment, and I want it to be of a quality that will not break down every six months. We will have some help from Medicare, and from a trust that Carol’s aunt set up for her, but there is still much to cover. So my friends, may I ask you to help us through this incredibly challenging time in our lives?

Thank you to all of you for being in our lives and sharing so many wonderful moments. You live in our hearts. Peace be unto you.
