Three weeks ago, I initiated my downsizing process and hopefully ends my living alone. My two oldest children wanted me to live near them, so in case of emergency, they will be around. First I hired a Realtor, 2nd I have decided to have the services of An Estate Sales Agent and 3rd and the last is the most tedious - packing and throwing my accumulations for the past six decades living here in the US.
My oldest son has already a hired a Dumpster and I am in the process of hiring a trash guy again. I hired a Handyman to replace toilet fixtures in the master bedroom. The most expensive is fixing the swimming pool and getting ready for the first show and listing of my residence hopefully next month. Currently, the Real Estate Market is very slow because of the High Mortgage interest rates, but hopefully it will improve in the next couple of months.
Now to another topic, the 1st year anniversary of David E III death.
On August 10, 2020, Macrine, my spouse for over 63 years passed. Since then David E and I resided in this ranch house in Fair Oaks. Exactly one year ago today, David E had a stroke while at work and after one week in the hospital joined his maker. Since then I was living alone except for my two pet cats, Batman & Robin with 2 days per week help of a private Home Care Aide.
Here are my blogs last year on David E- 59 years of life and memories:
