Today my mom is on her way to start her new life in Arkansas. Ever since my mom's landlord hired a property management company to take over and manage her rental home (of 12 years in Sun City, CA) my mom has been unhappy living there. The person from the property management company responsible for this property has been a "real jerk" (to say the least). Every opportunity he has he tries to intimidate my mom. As my mom is approaching 80 yrs she wanted to get away from the fast pace of the California lifestyle. She has decided to re-locate to Arkansas where the life style and pace are a lot simpler. Also, since my younger sister, Vicki and her husband, Don have decided to settle and are building a house near Vicki's daughter Kimberleigh, Kim's daughter Ashleigh and her husband Tim, in Arkansas. My mom decided that living in Arkansas near Vicki would be the best decision. Vicki is on disability and does not work. Therefore, she'll have more time and opportunity to spend time with my mom and help my mom with doctor's appointments etc. My sister Kathy and I are also planning to leave California when we retire, but we are both working and have a few years before we make the move. Even though I will miss having my mother only 45 minutes away, I know my mom will feel more relaxed and be more comfortable getting out of California. Of course my mom's happiness and health are what's important to me.

After only being here a few days...mom has met her next door neighbor, been invited to church and lunch next Sunday by someone else and saw a squirrel in her backyard! The neighbor (who is a year older than mom) has told her about the deer that come by in the early evening (a female with triplets, male and several of his "harem")!
