WELCOME TO MY SITE AND HAVE A GOOD DAY

Welcome to Las Vegas, Nevada- the Gambling Capital of US and the City that never sleeps! So, what has this city have to do with this site. The answer is none. I just love the photo, I took during our vacation to this city a couple of years ago. In this site, you will find articles from my autobiography, global warming, senior citizens issues, tourism, politics in PI, music appreciation and articles about our current experiences as retirees enjoying the "snow bird" lifestyle between US and the Philippines. Your comments will be highly appreciated. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on infringement of your copyrights. Cheers!

My Number One Choice for An Independent and Assisted Living Facility

Last March after my youngest son passed away, I have thoughts of moving to an Assisted living Facility closed to my oldest son ( within 15 minutes driving time), and have close social connections with other seniors. I did numerous search of facilities within 30 minutes driving time from my oldest son residence. I searched and talked to a dozen facilities and The Kensington at Walnut Creek was my Number #1 choice.  However, after talking to friends and neighbors I realized that I am not afraid of living alone and my neighbors are my social contacts as well as my 2 cats as companion.  Thus as of today, I am still in our home here in Fair Oaks, about two to three hours driving time from both my oldest son and oldest daughter residences. 

I do have a Home Care Aide( twice a week), Cleaning Ladies ( once a month), Lawn Care Man( 2 times per month) and a Home Service Massage Therapist ( once a month). 

Here's an e-mail from the Kensington inviting me again for a personal visit. My choice is their 2-bedroom unit.  

Thank you for your previous interest in The Kensington at Walnut Creek,  Earlier this year you requested information, and I don’t see a record of you coming to visit. Come visit us! We welcome all to see if The Kensington is a great option to find a social, safe place to live maintenance free.
