Our Home

We like our home, very much thank you. We feel that this is where the Lord has led us for this time in our lives. Our duplex apartment is just the right size and we like the location. It was practically new when we moved in almost four years ago, having been renovated from top to bottom, literally.

This year it seems especially nice to me. After what seemed like a long winter we have a number of blooming flowers to brighten both the front and back. Last fall the maintenance people tore up our lawn and reseeded it, and it has turned into a very nice lawn all around.
We like our patio in back. We have a small lighthouse and a dutch windmill, as well as two adirondack chairs, and a small table all which I have made, several pots of flowers and some planted ones, including three wonderful rose bushes, all blooming very nicely, all which make for a nice place to sit, watch people, drink coffee, visit with friends, etc.

On the larger home front we live in a place with lots of trees, which include many varieties. In the front of our house we have a chinese date tree which bears its fruit in abundance each fall. There's a large walnut tree nearby that seems to be tired of producing walnuts, but which still does on occasion. A large tree in back provides shade on those bright sunny summer mornings.

We live very near to the rear of the main building of the Villa, which allows us easy access which we use frequently. We enjoy interacting with the residents all around us, and many times with those in assisted living or health care.

Across the street is the Dyck Arboretum where we like to go to walk, or ride the scooter, around the 1/2 mile track. The picture on the right was taken in the fall. This time of year it is a beautiful place with many, many kinds of blooming flowers and trees, and so many kinds of natural grasses growing as well. There are often ducks and/or geese on the pond, and many, many fish and turtles. Fishing is off limits in this pond so they grow profusely.

More could be said but perhaps this is enough to say again, we like our home! We are here where we are assured a place to live for the rest of our lives, and have access to any kind of physical care we need. What more could one ask for? God is indeed good, and He has blessed us beyond our fondest expectations. Our goal is to live for His praise and glory as long as He gives us breath.
