but when I so bored and how impressive it is not only awkwardly the appearance but what they offer the amenities and I said well is it anybody here I could be friendly with we make a luncheon and they introduced me to such interesting people reside at boardwalk that I felt so at home so comfortable never lonely never feeling I'm shutting and busy busy and gave me the space in my apartment and the opportunity to pursue all of my interests you hear the expression location location location and this is a wonderful location for me I've had many friends who elected who chose to come here and live so it's not a new idea for me but I'm just happy to be here it had a reputation in the area as a matter of fact I did not look at any other places I like the location I was a fair fielder I Fairfield was easy easily accessible from here I like the apartments that I saw I like the people that I spoke to and I really looked at one place oh well I am thrilled with it because when I came in they were going to do certain things and combining two apartments I wanted a 2-bedroom 2-bath apartment I needed the space and they made certain suggestions or recommendations and they went along with it I'm so happy because it's my apartment and it's the way I wanted that fits my needs and I'm very happy with the fact that the watermark we're so cooperative it's been a very easy adjustment and I think a great deal because the watermark is made it easy for people to come here and to adjust and I think we all have kind of an apprehension about how we're going towards us and I think to be able to do it and not regret it and to be happy about it to continue to live and do things that you enjoy is it's very rewarding actually wasn't a bad transition at all because I have a rather large apartment at plenty of space of course you miss things like your garden your yard but I have a wonderful patio and enjoy using them I like anything to do with history art I love our art gallery shows once a month we have art place who runs the show here and has an artist come and speak to us followed by a look by reception with cookies inferences oh very nice and I look forward to that and the programs i pick as i go on this semester they call them semesters i'm going to see if i get some further training on my computer they have a computer and they're going to give some courses well of course I get up and I go down for breakfast which is always enjoyable and it's it's always a surprise because of who you're going to be having breakfast with and that's as I said very enjoyable as I said I have friends here I go for lunch and and my family being close by is nice and that dining room here is wonderful those happen to cook and and they like coming so I'm very satisfied in fact is the perfect place for that I found very helpful here was that Monica gave us a detailed floor plan of the apartment that we were interested in in in terms of feet and inches per room and I use that as a master plan and it turns out that every piece of furniture that we had in our previous apartment privately fitted just right so there wasn't a spare inch that Weeden it didn't make use of and everything fit so in a sense we are living in a duplicate of the original apartment baby have some big leather chairs and sofas which is really too big for an apartment but we were just right and they fit in beautifully not having to beat the minimal amount of housekeeping and cooking and yet you were free you know if you wanted to do something you keep somehow cooking if you like cooking or you could do that too so I I didn't look back at all about that I was glad to give up the cooking and whatever I wanted to do I could still feel really do that and I was absolutely glad to give up the housekeeping I I think any sane woman would be glad to so I am you know actually no no regrets I think was a very smart move I feel like we're on a second honeymoon we spent more time together just just enjoying ourselves again without having to say well I have to go out sharp or we have to cook county dinner now put the landscaping grounds like your own private park and Roz and I walk alone around that every day we don't get tired of and we're on a hunting I really think we spend more time together and I wouldn't have it any other way luckily we love each other so it's very easy you
