An Ambulance A Day
55+ Community. What that means.
I am at home everyday and have been for a while so I see a lot of things that go on. Recently, I have seen more and more fire rescue vehicle coming into my community.

Another one is you can’t plant anything in your yard unless it’s okayed by them. You have to keep your bushes trimmed below the bottom of your windows or . . . .
Don’t get me started on the tiny patio use restrictions.
You ask why I moved in? The rent was about half of what I was paying previously and it is on the ground floor. No stairs. They have a bus that will take you to the bank and the grocery store that is FREE since my car is out right now.
I just pay my rent and stay to myself. I was going to join classes and workout at the Rec. center but they closed everything due to the virus. Now I read and write. I am friendly and say hi when I…
