You are all welcome to your opinions, but my sweet sister lives in a Mayberry-like community where their small, mom & pop (literally) book store is among the biggest enterprises in town. They are also the buckwheat capitol of NY, and buckwheat pancakes are the absolute best up there. Life is slower ... lake time is very much like quarantine time, but with better views. It's honestly the only place I ever vacationed that I come home refreshed, and not exhausted.
This may happen in 2 stages - my nephew has an empty house in Newtown PA (right near my other sister, and my parents) that I can rent for less than 1/2 what I pay now, while my daughter and her husband scour the real estate logs for the perfect place for the three of us. I just need a studio and a bedroom - my Kelly is a fabulous cook, so she can have the kitchen, and I'll mooch. Looking brighter all the time!
