Oh, this hits near and dear to my heart, Roy! My 90-year old Dad just bought a house here, even after me encouraging him to find a 55+ area where he wouldn't have to worry about hiring a housekeeper (larger space) and someone to maintain his landscaping (which I coordinate both for him!) and he's missing the opportunity to be around others. That scares me with the strong history of Alzheimer's in our family. BUT, it's his life and he wants his independence and I totally understand that.

That said, your area's support group would be nice to have here. 

And, I LOVE your photo--that is one gorgeous butterfly!
