So I moved to a brand new old folks home before my kids did it for me. (Well, the idea was mine even if they physically moved me.) Remember that I'm only 27 and have been for many years. (Plus tax and gratuities.)

Wow! Nifty picture. Pity they got rid of all the amenities inside right after they convinced the authorities that they'd filled the joint up.

Aurora, Colorado, weather forecast

After giving away so very much stuff, I crammed the rest of it into 524 sq. ft. (That's according to the floor plan. MS Excel only came up with 460 sq. ft.) Kept losing floor because the bedroom was 1/4 craft room and the rest boxes (all labelled). This came in handy in August 2007, when I moved into a larger apartment, which also has cross ventilation and a great view of the Rockies. Love it.
 
However, I decided to get into Virtual Realty, so go see what I did by clicking here.

There is indeed a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow: half a block down the street, Janet's Fat Boy's Sports Bar and Grill. Check out the menu and specials. The food is delicious with half of it prone to going home in a doggie box. My downfall is the beef burrito drowned in green chile.
 
If you're a smoker, there's a patio with heaters in the winter and breezes in the summer. It's our home away from home. "J" has a margarita preference, while "L" digs the skittles, which are almost lethal. Naturally, since I'm always on a diet, I stick to clear liquids like martinis. "R" prefers his with Tangaray.
