I kept the lawn mowed and the shrubs trimmed for a couple years, but soon discovered it was too big of a job for me. Carolyn had contacted a lawn mowing service to mow regularly, which was a big help. After three years of staying in our home, I had a call from Kidron Bethel Retirement center saying they had a duplex available to look at. I visited the place and decided it would fill my needs. I was to let them know in a couple days and after talking to my family, we decided I should say yes.
It was September and plans were made for an auction. I contacted a mover and made arrangements for a moving date. The duplex was not only just across the back yard and shelter belt, but also just around the corner and down the street by car, so after my new residence was ready I began moving boxes of possessions. As I moved a carload, I carried it in and put it away. The movers came and loaded up furniture and the move went smoothly. I hired a lady to do a full clean of my house and I put it up for sale. Very soon we had a very interested buyer and the rest is history.
It was easy to adjust to retirement living and I realized I made a good decision. Not having the responsibility of keeping things in good shape was a relief. I have now lived here for thirteen years and enjoy my time here. Learning to know new people and having good neighbors is all good.
Kidron Bethel has undergone a major remodeling and the new area is great. I have a few things I would change, but am satisfied with how things are.
