When i got home from work, he said "I learned something today. if i ever have to move to a strange town I am going to get a cute dog. Today I took Charlie (my dog) for a walk, and I couldn't believe all the people who stopped and asked about the dog! Now Charlie was a small, white and brown long haired dog with a tail like a flag on his rear end. He was very cute.phxxerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164453100093825141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-31671945037026854362022-09-13T00:45:27.592-04:002022-09-13T00:45:27.592-04:00I'm in the same situation.

ZOOM. there's tons of people that you can talk to and I still have a chat room for the rv'ers that became close friends all these years (2007). Reach out if interested. We can talk or type or both with other people.

If you only knew all the horror stories I hear about my mother's friends who moved in with their well-meaning children but ended up in a nightmarish situation.<br /><br />I suppose that is why she won't even entertain moving to Houston with me. I can not leave her by herself, but I am OK with being in Del Rio as she sacrificed so much for me. It is my turn now, even if it means postponing or giving up on my Terlingua dream.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-81390502394817055712022-08-11T16:04:16.485-04:002022-08-11T16:04:16.485-04:00I think you've got some great suggestions in t...I think you've got some great suggestions in the comments. I really can't think of anything else to add. You do need to figure out how to get to a senior center and be around people. Let us know how you're doing.

Good ideas above if you like to cook. Just get a two burner hot plate and a toaster over large enough for whatever you want and you are set in that regard. I would think the community would have some sort of JAUNT or other free transport for seniors so you could check out a senior center and maybe make some friends there. Are you on Nextdoor? Join that on line and ask where you could find a senior center or transportation. People are very helpful on it.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785311472371282139.post-48232978623195888822022-08-11T11:29:43.137-04:002022-08-11T11:29:43.137-04:00I'm so sorry for your situation.

At least we have each other and while Rocky is a good companion I imagine he falls short on carrying on a good conversation. You are one year older than I am and my 81st is coming up in 4 weeks. I agree that if you can - buy a crock pot or toaster oven and cook what you want. What you describe is exactly what my fear is. Carol would like to live in a less demanding place but what you describe is what I fear should we move from our mountain. I just posted an article yesterday on what is rarely reported on here in Colorado but is a big problem. Working people living in their cars is not a small issue - they can't afford homes or apartments. The state of our country is getting worse in my opinion. Wish I had some advice that would benefit you but sadly I don't.
