  1. I also want to live close to you, Dad! Love having you nearby and able to do projects, and eating, and playing together. Let's keep doing this...

    I hear the need for sun! I am thinking about local food sources, and gardening. I am also thinking of the adventures can be had in sunshine. Would you consider a place that has decent amount of sun, but it gets cold and snowy? For example, Madison, WI was very sunny, but also very cold. Is sun for the golfing? Is sun about going outside? Is sun about emotional/psychological well being?

    Long-Term care plan is also important to me. I want to have clear/adjusted expectations about what is happening as you get older, what role I see myself in and what role you see me in...also the financial side of it, as well as the 'care' side of it
