leaving paradise

Our home in the mountains. Unbelievable views, so quiet that you can hear your own heart beat. The bears, mountain lions, raccoons, deer, etc. Goodbye. I can't shovel snow anymore. Stacking 5 cords of wood... impossible. Stairs and elevation... can't handle anymore. But this IS paradise But... We got to go. House sold. Escrow closes in about 2 weeks.. Going to the desert to look at replacement home today. Nothing will be a good swap but will be able to breath better at lower elevation and no snow to shovel. No stairs for Teresa to clime. (or me). Guess it's time to learn to shake the scorpions out of my shoes in the morning. It will be a challenging change for sure.
