The condo news

[judy]

I can definitely see myself snuggled up with the fireplace on and the dogs running around. It will be so beautiful in the winter, the fall will be exquisite, and spring and summer amazing!

I'll have plenty of things I enjoy to do. There are yoga places, I'm sure I can find a pottery class in one of the more artsy towns, I can take a class, or go to workshops or seminars at the college at Oneonta. I'm sure there are also plenty of things to do that I haven't thought of yet.

I'll be close to my daughter and my babies. I can help them grow up, and visit Jessie when I want. We can go to their school functions together, and maybe the gym in her town.

My only question is will I be happy with a transient population. Only 12 people live there full-time at this point. There are a lot of people who bought homes as weekend second homes (nice and rich! Maybe some single men!). A lot of the homes are rented out by the owners as vacation homes.

I would like to have some people there I know and am friendly with. I'm not looking for people to visit me and hang out in my house. Truthfully, I hate that unless it's a really good friend. I'm looking for the kind of neighbors you know, and ask them how they feel, how was your granddaughter's graduation, how does your brother feel, and so on.
