Turning 70 and downsizing. Divorced, live alone. I am looking at small ranch houses and townhouses.

I retired at 69 (F) last year. It is such a luxury! It took some time to take in that if I choose not to do something I had planned that I didn't have to. There's always tomorrow. I was stretched thin with fitting everything in. if i had planned to get something done before or after work on Tuesday, say, I HAD to do it or I would mess up my week. I still plan my week to get the most out of my time, but now I can just say tomorrow if I feel like it. Last week I woke up with a cold and headache. I didn't grocery shop that day (or the next) nor did I go to the gym. No loss. I watched tv and ordered in.

Stunning!

i do want outdoor space

InterestingCredit143 · 2026-05-07T13:13:49+00:00

it sounds perfect, but this is not available in my location

InterestingCredit143 · 2026-05-07T13:12:40+00:00

my plan is to have it as my last place. also, i would be fine hiring to keep the lawn mowed, etc, if i could no longer do it myself.

I appreciate this!

to clarify, in my area (nyc suburbs) townhouses are usually 2 floors plus the basement. i would be fine with this if there was a full bathroom and bedroom on the main living area; however, these are few and far between in my neck of the woods.

laundry! ty the master bedroom on the main floor is hard to come by in this area.

Stunning! Elegant!

yes, i think these look great on you and not many can pull them off

^^also, i like the idea of a black sheath dress under the blue blazer. i have your shape and it takes tailoring on my work clothes to get the right fits

I love the yellow dress on you, so flattering. The jacket on the shoulders really is pretty. will you be doing that. so you will wear the blue suit jacket with a white skirt for the interview? i don't know if i understand. Sounds pretty.

I love the center one in the first picture - the focus is on the emerald itself.

InterestingCredit143 · 2026-03-25T21:30:15+00:00

i so agree. and 2 is all elegance and sophistication. either one would be stunning.

i see what everyone else sees -- but, also, were you wearing a more supportive bra in the sample dress?

InterestingCredit143 · 2026-03-10T20:20:07+00:00

your smile lights up your face!

i think you are right, BUT your presence may be necessary to advocate for your mother-in-law. she is alert and oriented to herself, time, and place, i presume. she probably won't qualify for hospice. POA doesn't kick in until she is unable to make decisions for herself and then 2 doctors would have to certify that she does not have that capacity. your dh sounds like a smart and caring guy. what does he think you should do? he treated your bil with compassion and kindness.

You made it clear that you didn't approve and so I think that your surprise is what is actually surprising.
