Jim suggested we find the exact date we moved into our apartment five years ago. It took some research through my blogs and his diaries but he found it. The movers were here July 17 and we stayed one more night after that at Homewood Suites. So our first day at Barclay Square was July 18, 2019.
We have accomplished a lot in five years. We were off to some bumps when cancer and Covid were disruptive. But we have found doctors, a dentist, a hair stylist, libraries, and a church.
This morning at church we chatted with several folks and one other person introduced herself to us so we are still meeting folks. And that is a good feeling. We are no longer strangers!
Jim has golfing buddies and a regular place to play which is what he likes--no need for variety there. He is planning on a breakfast date with someone this week and I am hoping to make a birthday lunch for my Barclay Square friend.
We have had many cookouts at Jeff and Susan's home just a ten-minute ride from here and that has been wonderful. We have been to concerts and plays and performances both here in Princeton and near Gladwyne. We have made some trips to Brooklyn and now to Wallkill, New York. We can participate in the lives of our children and grandchildren without making a 700 mile trip down I 80.
A Granger neighbor called me today and I chatted with another friend from South Bend earlier this week--so we continue to keep up ties from there. We still think of the church in South Bend as "our church" and try to support them.
We are thankful we can celebrate this anniversary this week!
