My new digs

My apartment from courtyard

After 51 years in a big three-story house on Ridgefield Street in Hartford’s Blue Hills neighborhood, it’s taken a lot of de-cluttering, but I’m ensconced in this lovely apartment in the Seabury Retirement Community in Bloomfield. It’s one of the few one-story apartments in the whole complex; I share this courtyard (and rose garden down the middle) with a baker’s dozen neighbors. And I’m now less than five minutes away from Brad, who’s at The Meadows, Seabury’s memory support unit. Our miniature poodle Kuro-chan (“Little Blackie” in Japanese — look hard, he’s in the photo, on the walk) lives with me, but comes along on visit to the Meadows, where absolutely everyone wants to pet him.
