My parents live in a retirement community which is wonderful for them, because there are all kinds of activities they can enjoy with others their own age. Today they invited us to a 4th of July cookout at their clubhouse. It sounded like a good idea until we walked in. Suddenly, being in a room of 40 very lively senior citizens was a little overwhelming! So we loaded up our plates and headed outside with Mom and Dad to sit by the pool. There was a nice breeze, and we had a great time visiting. Visiting is the key word here, because even though it is a nice place, we're not ready to live there!
