Yay for you, Vince, and the happy life you enjoy in Texas.
When our daughter was about 13, which was 13 years ago, she encouraged us to move into a larger home, so she could have a bigger bedroom. We looked at houses, but we couldn’t find one that charmed us enough to leave our cherished friends and neighbors.
A better plan was was to add on to our house. Our daughter took the old master bedroom, and it all worked out. The kids are out on their own now. What a mistake it would have been had we made that move! So glad we stayed put.
