And maybe it is none of my business but why would a 87-year-old woman want to move to a new house? Visit her often, Father Steve, I fear that she won't be very happy there, old folk need familiar surroundings.
This remarkable lady has been living on her own in the Greater Seattle area while her daughter and son-in-law live on the beach on the Olympic Peninsula. It was her wish and their wish to reduce the distance (two floating bridges, one half-hour ferry ride and about fifty miles of driving) between them. So they built her a dream house, right next to theirs, so she has her privacy but can walk twenty yards and be in their home. Her grandkids also have a summer home on the property which will, in many years, become their retirement home. They are up there all the time, building some addition on it, which puts them close to grandma.
