MyLotter Jim (@Ineeddentures) wrote asking if members liked oranges. The very next day, we were given a bagful of big, sweet oranges. We’ve been buying mandarins as they are easier to peel and are Vince’s preferred fruit. They are...

Talent by the bucketloads

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382542) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Jun

There is a little alcove in the clubhouse of our retirement village. It’s now being used as a showcase for individuals to display their crafts. So far, an artist has displayed some of her paintings and another has filled the space...

We've been working on our garage

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382542) • Rockingham, Australia 14 May

We’ve been in this retirement village for almost five years. In that time, we’ve downsized to one car which means we now have more room in the two-car garage. It was time to reorganise our tools and bits and pieces. We moved...

Keeping a list of handy numbers

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382542) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Mar 25

The photo is of an old church that we’ll be passing on our way to on house-sit on Monday. It doesn’t have much to do with the post. Make that, it doesn’t have anything to do with the post. We live in a retirement village. One of...

Test results from our vehicle

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382542) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Feb 25

We live in a retirement village but not everyone here is retired. As long as one partner is over 55, then a couple is entitled to live here. One husband is a mechanic and we’ve made use of his services. He doesn’t own his own...

We visit another retirement village site

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382542) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Sep 21

A few nights ago, we were invited to a retirement village where our friends live. I thought you might be interested in the differences between their home and ours. There are only 81 units there but all are ‘apartments’ rather...

People only hear what they want to hear

AbbyGreenhill @AbbyGreenhill (45490) • United States 21 May 17

It is obvious that there are many instances where people don't really pay attention to what is said or presented to them. They latch onto a few key words and the rest passes them by. I will give you an example: My cousin never...

So many goodies, mostly for me

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382542) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Feb 17

In my last post I mentioned we'd won a door prize following our visit to a retirement village in Bunbury, Western Australia. I've been waiting with bated breath (where does that come from @LoriAMoore?) for Vince to arrive home...

A busy day for Vince - but not me

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382542) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Feb 17

Vince has gone into our nearest city, Bunbury, in Western Australia. I feel a bit strange calling it a city as it doesn't seem that big to me. We only go there when we need to but when we do go we try to make the most of the trip....

We recently visited a retirement village in Bunbury, Western Australia, after receiving several invitations to various 'open days'. Currently there are about nine units up for sale and we were able to look through these at our...

Thinking about the next step

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382542) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Feb 17

Yesterday we visited a retirement village in our nearby city. At the moment we live on eighteen acres in a lovely secluded location in south-west Western Australia. We have native bush on two sides of us and can only just see our...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382542) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Feb 17

While at the retirement village yesterday we saw this magnificent stone kookaburra at the front door of one of the residences. There were other ornaments in the garden but I couldn't really get a good photo of them. The...

A Busy Day for a Change

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382542) • Rockingham, Australia 16 Feb 17

Today will be a busy day in our terms. We have accepted an invitation to view a retirement village in Bunbury, Western Australia, about 30kms away. We have no intentions of selling up any time soon but at 70, we need to start...
