Approaching their new life

Approaching their new life
Approaching their new life,
originally uploaded by With A Twist.

In November we convinced my parents that they needed to move from their remote country home on the lake to a condo closer to my sister. Dad has had heart problems and they both need to have better access to hospitals and living conveniences. This picture was taken on moving day, from the balcony of their new condo.

They have moved in and mostly are unpacked and adjusting very well to their new life. Because of the uneven ground and ankle injuries Mum has had her mobility at the old house was extremely limited. Now that they are living in a little town with good sidewalks she is able to get out more and exercise. They seem to try and get out every day if the weather cooperates and they go and explore something new each time. It makes me sad to think how long they stayed at the old house just because of habit. With a little push from us here they are, starting a new life at almost 80 !

I love them very much and hope I can be as positive about life when I reach their age.
