Ode to Moving

Boxes, boxes everywhere

I ‘m sure I'm going to smother

Oh these boxes everywhere

I surely won't recover!

There's stuff in boxes everywhere

They surely are a jinx

I must get of them very, very soon because,

My short "Ode to Moving" was born of frustration with unpacking and finding space for the remainder of our life's possessions, after giving practically everything away to children, family and friends.

Our thirty-five plus years in a home with three bedrooms, two baths and a large basement outfitted with wall-to-wall storage cabinets must now be re-arranged what appears to be adequate space, but it is a challenge!

Nevertheless, we love our new, patio home in the independent living section of an Elderwood Continuing Care community in Wheatfield, NY.

Go to www.elderwood.com and click on Independent Lining, then Crestwood  Commons.  That’s us.

We are elder seniors, 80 and 79 respectively, in relatively good health, and continue to lead interesting, active lives. This organization met our housing needs, and living in a health care community is a plus, considering our ages.
