A few years ago we moved our upcoming retirement lifestyle into a more maintenance-free existence.
Condo living was not my residence of choice. I wanted to step out my front door, touch grass, plant a garden, harvest my herbs.
It wasn’t too long though after moving into our apartment that I finally got the concept.
Being away for extended periods requires either a reliable someone to care for things
or a home where we could just lock the door and walk away carefree.
…that month in Paris…
…the two months in Africa…
…carefree…
And this year, after spending almost four months onboard our little chalet on the water,
I have come to appreciate our little land home even more.
The problem now though is where to store all the boat things at the end of our first season.
… the solution…
…gives the impression of security doesn’t it?…
…first load, sails and cushions…
…the elevator reminds me a military installation…
…or maybe a prison…
…as I descend to retrieve the keys that I forgot in the car…
…our little 8’x8’…
…climate controlled…
…accessible whenever we wish…
…affordable…
…ours for as long as we need it…
