This Summer has been much, much more pleasurable than any of the other Summers we’ve spent in this region.
- My hubby plus I retired to this area almost 20 years ago.
My wonderful friend and I were both able to stop working when my associate and I were 60. So, we’ve had a leisurely retirement as my associate and I are both nearing 72. That meant that my associate and I were able to play lots of golf, go for hikes plus adore plenty of travel for nearly two decades. But as my associate and I close in on 72, my associate and I are legitimately slowing down. And that means less energy plus time for doing all the stuff that my associate and I once appreciated. But that’s just part of getting older plus we’re more accepting of it than my associate and I are trying to resist it. We’re blessed to be so healthy at this age so slowing down isn’t all that bad. Still, my associate and I miss getting out of the a/c during the Summer. The heat plus humidity are just too intense for us during the afternoon this time of year. My wonderful friend and I get up genuinely early to get outside for a walk or errands. But it’s property plus inside the central a/c from late afternoon on, then however, my associate and I had a ductless heat pump added to our sunroom this past Spring plus it’s glorious. Even in the middle of the afternoon my associate and I can adore some sun plus yellow sky thanks to the ductless heat pump. Having a/c while feeling like we’re outside a bit genuinely has helped our spirits this Summer. Of course, we’re both ready for the heat plus humidity to abate. But that won’t be happening for at least a couple of months as it’s only July. Until then, we’ll just keep enjoying the cooling comfort of the sunroom.
