On Saturday...
my younger sister was still tired...
so I took her to The Garden of the Gods...
and then out to eat at a Thai Restaurant.
Yesterday...
it was a beautiful day...
mid 50s F.
Today...it got up to the mid 60s F.
-----------------
Today...
as my sister felt more energetic...
she looked up some properties online to the south of my home.
We first ate at a Mexican restaurant at the nearest town...
and we then drove out to a couple of listings to see the general area.
It turns out that the southern area was just too remote and the properties simply too large
for her to handle as she ages.
The normal lot sizes were 35 acres...
and although the houses were large...
they were just too isolated.
And so...
she will just cross out the south for most of her real estate searching.
However...
just by looking...
she is taking the first step to a better future.
On our way back home from her southern search.
Not too far from my home here.
The sky was just too beautiful to keep driving...
so I pulled over for us to take some photos of this magnificent sunset.
My sister likes the idea of seeing natural beauty all around her
here in Colorado.
We are going to the north to search for other areas of a possible future home for her.
She is presently searching the internet for possible homes
that we will drive by to get an idea of the general area...
and so...
a possible future home.
On Wednesday...
my younger sister has an appointment with a real estate agent to actually look
inside some homes.
She will first look at some homes in my neighborhood
(somewhere on this mountain)...
and then at some others near other towns.
The more my sister sees of Colorado...
the more she loves it here.
----------
Tomorrow will be fairly busy...
as we will drive up to Breckenridge Ski Resort...
and look at the outside of listings which interest her on the way.
Nice. I agree if it is too remote it is a problem on several levels for a single senior
ReplyDeleteYes, and she agreed after having been to just outside the properties. That is why I am taking her to actually see the surrounding areas. She must consider everything in a macro sense, instead of just through the myopic view of the listing's pictures. A beautiful house is worthless if it is impractical to own and live in for the rest of your life.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that your sister is thinking of how she can take care of the property as she ages. I feel like with my dad he assumed that he would always be youthful and energetic, and his retirement property became overwhelming as he got older.
ReplyDeleteBetween that beautiful mountain and gorgeous sunset... wow!
Yes, we looked at more today and came to the same conclusion with these as well. Tomorrow we will look at properties near mine. Today...another beautiful sunset...this time from home.
